A local West Seattle holiday event was a winning activity again this year, both for the winning teams and for the businesses and residences who volunteered to be a part. “Winter walk” treasure hunt creator Alice kuder organized it for a second year and calls it a “huge success”. She sent a summary report:
Last year 12 teams played and sent 198 selfies. This year, 24 teams participated and sent 460 selfies and 6 social media posts. 7 of the 24 teams solved all 25 clues.
The team of Rick and morty (a.k.a Steve and Charlie Bierman, above) won the $ 100 Grand Prize gift card, valid for local businesses. I fully intend to make Winter Wander an annual event and hopefully a vacation tradition in West Seattle. Next year it will take place from December 2 to 11.
