SEATTLE, WA – Beginning November 14, 2007, 60 decorated nutcrackers will take up residence on the streets of Downtown Seattle in a vast public art display for the holidays. Now in its third and final year, the Nutcracker March is inspired by the Pacific Northwest Ballet’s annual performance of the Nutcracker, which has been a Seattle holiday tradition for more than 20 years. Local organizations such as the Seattle Art Museum, the Seattle Seahawks, The Seattle Aquarium and the Museum of Flight have sponsored individual nutcrackers. An array of talented artists from around the Puget Sound has been selected to design the nutcrackers.
| WHAT: |
Pacific Northwest Ballet Nutcracker March, a public art display benefiting the Northwest Center. 60 decorated nutcrackers will be on display throughout the Downtown Seattle core.

November 14th, 2007 through January 4th, 2008

| WHY: |
