Starbucks Holiday Launch November 9, 2006

The holiday season has officially arrived! Starbucks Coffee Company marks the arrival of the holiday season by creating its own Pacific Northwest tradition of an illuminated store display at Seattle’s iconic, downtown Westlake Center location on November 9th.

In the spirit of the holidays, Starbucks in Westlake Center will undergo a holiday change, enlisting the use of ladders, lighting and construction sounds. This “special work” will be revealed in an unveiling ceremony at dusk hosted by KOMO 4 Meteorologist Todd Johnson, who will officially “plug in” the power cords to illuminate the store, and feature a representative from Starlight Starbright to kick off Starbucks 7th annual Holiday Angels Joy Drive.

To help ring in the holiday season Westlake Center visitors will have the opportunity to listen to the harmonious carols of , enjoy a sampling of Starbucks holiday beverages and food offerings, as well as make a donation to the Joy Drive mailbox.
