Seattle Star Wars Mania –
Are you part of Star Wars mania? Our kids bought tickets months ago to see the new movie and I bet yours did too. Everywhere you look in social media, fans are dressing the part, acting the part and fully enjoying this Star Wars movie premiere. Here in Seattle we have cocktails named after characters, hashtags galore #maytheforksbewithyou and we even have an entire Gingerbread House display #SEAGingerbreadVillage devoted to Star Wars. Our daughter Alex (SeatownBites.com) always knows exactly what is fun to see and do in Seattle. So at her suggestion, I packed up my camera and dashed over to the Sheraton Seattle Hotel to see this Star Wars Gingerbread Village.
Sheraton Seattle Gingerbread Village
For the past 23 years, the Sheraton Hotel culinary team and top local architecture and construction firms design, bake and delight holiday visitors with larger than life gingerbread designs. With the new release of the movie, The Force Awakens, it was the perfect theme for this year’s village.The event is free to the public, with donations benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
