Bundled-up families equipped with small saws and Christmas cheer descended on Crown Tree Farm in search of the perfect fir, and there were no droopy, Charlie Brown-style trees to be found.
The farm sold about 1,500 firs measuring five to 10 feet before shutting down for the year on Sunday, Dec. 14, said co-owner Marty Kester.
Visitors also enjoyed complimentary snacks and hot beverages, and perused gifts in the lot’s “warming station,” where holiday music filled the air and a roaring fire kept hands toasty.
Don’t have your tree yet? There are still some chopping days left, and a few U-Cut lots were open as of press time. They included Mountain Creek Tree Farm in Snoqualmie (www.mountaincreektreefarm.com) and Keith & Scott Farm in North Bend (www.kandstreefarm.com).
