Looking For The Perfect Christmas Tree?

Written by: rebecca and filed Under Blog, Misc |

It’s that time of year again. We are all stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner and quickly running out of leftover turkey. The temperature starts to drop and we get the occasional snow flurry. Holiday lights start going up on homes.

You know what that means? For those that celebrate the Christmas holiday, it’s time to pick out a fresh Christmas tree.

I’m old school so I can’t succumb to buying an artificial tree that I can use over and over. Some will criticize how un-environmentally friendly that is. My comment - TOUGH $&@!.

I need my fresh tree fix. For those of you that are in the same boat as me, I thought I would share a few of my favorite tree farms in the area.

Red-Wood Christmas Trees - 13925 Redmond-Woodinville Rd NE, Redmond (425-482-6795)

Trinity Tree Farm - 14237 228th Ave. S.E., Issaquah (425-391-8733)

Carnation Tree Farm - 31523 N.E. 40th St., Carnation (425-333-4510)

Crown Tree Farm - 13005 424th Ave. S.E., North Bend (425-888-1506)

Mountain Creek Tree Farm - 6821 440th Ave. S.E., Snoqualmie (425-888-1770)

Holiday Mountain Trees - Highway 118 and Southeast 104th St., Snoqualmie Ridge (253-838-7979)

For those that want to be a bit more adventurous and try a new tree farm not on this list, the Pacific Northwest Christmas Tree Association has put together quite an extensive list of tree growers in Washington state. And there are also the local pre-cut trees stands in shopping mall parking lots or places like Home Depot and Fred Meyer. But you will pay a price; the cost is significantly higher and the experience leaves something to be desired.

And if you know of any other places or wish to share your experiences about a special tree search, please leave a comment.
