How many lights would you say are on this 90-foot tree? Spoiler alert: a lot!

Staff at the Dungeness River Nature Center held a contest on social media asking just that and they revealed on Dec. 20 there are 11,684 lights! They awarded a gift card for a guess of 12,000. The lights will be up in Railroad Bridge Park at 1943 W. Hendrickson Road in Sequim through the end of December. Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe contracts P. Walker Inc. to place more than three million lights at its businesses and campuses each year. See more photos of the bridge and center’s lights at the Gazette’s website.
