Important Show Etiquette

Please help us maintain a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone

Category	Guidelines
🚗 Parking & Traffic	We are in West Seattle, and our street is VERY narrow, allowing only one-way, single-lane traffic. Please park one block north or south of the house and walk to the show.
📻 Audio & Volume	When using your FM radio (99.5), please be mindful of the volume and respect our neighbors. Keep voices down and be considerate.
❤️ Be Kind & Respectful	Be respectful of others enjoying the show, keep voices down, and please be kind to everyone. Thank you for helping us create a magical experience for all!

About Us

We have been doing holiday lights for many years, and five years ago, we began the journey into fully synchronized LED light shows.

Shows are sometimes presented as a playlist and other times we have an interactive feature where visitors may select songs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there parking available? ▼

No, is the short answer. Because of the narrow and one-way nature of our street, we ask people coming to view the light shows to park north or south of the house along 47th Ave SW and make the short walk to the house.

How is audio delivered? ▼

The music is delivered via outdoor speakers and low-power, very short-range FM radio (99.5).

Is the show interactive? ▼

Yes, visitors may request songs using the on-site provided QR code. Just scan the QR code and pick your favorite songs.

How many LEDs are used to make up the shows? ▼

Both the Christmas and Halloween shows are over 100,000+ pixels in total. A pixel is comprised of 3 LEDs, so the total LED count is over 300,000+, and each one is individually controllable. We use 12 controllers to power and manage all of those pixels.

How big is your electric bill? ▼

The LEDs are low voltage (12VDC) and consume less electricity than you would think. Running both shows typically only adds $250 to our electric bill for the year.

You show a lot of corgi images. Why? ▼

Yes, we are proud corgi parents (two of them, so far), and corgi folk are known to go a bit overboard.
