For the past 10 years our family has enjoyed sharing the Christmas and Halloween seasons with a large inflatable display in the Juanita area of Kirkland (near Safeway). This past Tuesday morning, our eight-year-old son went out to inflate the Christmas display only to find three of the six we have set out are missing.
I am asking the greater Kirkland community to keep their eyes open for a standing, 7 foot tall Rudolf the red nosed reindeer, an animated helicopter piloted by Santa, and an animated Grinch pulling a tree out of a chimney. All have distinguishable markings from the years of use and NONE are currently available in the stores at this time.
Should anyone happen to see the beloved inflatables our children and the children of our community who are missing a display this year would appreciate. Please contact crispederson@comcast.net, the Kirkland Police Department (ask for Detective J. Ishmael), or the Kirkland
Patch. We just want them returned; our family hopes the Grinch’s heart grows three sizes and returns.
Merry Christmas to all,
The Pederson Family of Juanita
