Candy Cane Lane has been a staple in Seattle since the 1940s. It is a neighborhood Christmas light display on Park Road and Ravenna Boulevard near Ravenna Park (Ravenna is a neighborhood near the University of Washington). The local residents put on quite a display with music and several mechanical decorations in the traffic circle island in the middle of a large cul de sac on NE Park Road. Nearly all of the homes in the area are adorned with Christmas lights and holiday figures.
The display begins early in December and runs through New Year's Day, operating each day from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m., except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Eve, which run until midnight.
I think Santa makes an appearance there at some point but I couldn't tell you when. I suggest hitting the University Village for coffee before you do your drive through. Also if you have kids or a dog, or if you just love Christmas you should find a place to park and do it as a walk through. There are lines to get in if you're driving but they usually don't take more than a minute or so. They'll likely be much worse the closer you get to the big day.
Holiday: Christmas
When is this viewable?: From: 12/01/2006 To: 12/31/2006
