Sponsored by the Pacific Northwest Ballet, fifty nutcrackers, designed by area artists and organizations have been placed in downtown Seattle. Later, there will be an online auction with proceeds going to the Northwest Center which serves children and adults with disabilities.

The artists range from youngsters to professionals. Today during our errands, I was able to photograph fourteen of these colorful nutcrackers - a cheerful addition to the downtown landscape during this season.
