Likely the brightest spots each Christmas in and around Sequim can be found on the Jamestown S’Klallam Tribe’s properties — The Jamestown Blyn Campus, Longhouse Market, 7 Cedars Casino, Jamestown Medical Center, and The Cedars at Dungeness Golf Course.

“What seems to make the Blyn lights so magical, is our location (with) very little light pollution and that they are visible from (U.S. Highway 101),” said Erick Miller, 7 Cedars Casino assistant marketing director.

Whether you are passing through Blyn or at the golf course for a round, it’s easy to see there’s a lot of  care, time and electricity that goes into the annual lighting.

• Lights go up shortly after Thanksgiving through the New Year.

• Usually more than 1 million lights are installed but this year there are more than 2 million lights between the sites.

• A team of 6-10 people from Patrick Walker, Inc., of Port Orchard installs the lights annually over a few weeks.

• Lights are installed at night to check the finished product

• The tribe pays for the lights whereas Walker installs, uninstalls and stores them for the year.
