OPPORTUNITY
Get a letter from the North Pole
Kids are invited to mail letters to Santa at a special holiday mailbox outside the Log Cabin Visitor Information Center at the corner of Fifth Avenue N and Bell Street in Edmonds. Santa and his elves will reply back.
Parents might want to be sure their child’s letter gets dropped off by Dec. 20, however, since after that things get mighty busy for the jolly old elf up north.
