The “house with the blue lights” – 30,000 to be exact – is located across the street from Lake Washington High School. Many see the home every holiday as Kirkland’s “North Star.” For 35 years, Jerry Shipman has put up the blue and green lights to represent the cold, while his wife, Edie, sets up the manger figurines.

The Reporter recently asked readers where some of the top spots in Kirkland were to find the most brilliant holiday lights. The following is a round-up of where to find some of these luminescent holiday homes: • The corner of 100th Ave. and N.E. 132nd St., just up the hill west of Juanita Elementary School. This decorated home looks like a gingerbread house, complete with candles lining the driveway. Inflatables also fill the yard, with a Santa on the roof. • Stop by Barbara and Bob McConnell’s Kirkland home to see more than 40,000 flashing lights that are synchronized to holiday music. Listen to the music and watch the display from the comfort of your warm car. Bob also added a new song this year: “Rockin around the Christmas Tree.” The home is located at 13837 101st Place N.E. Please bring a suggested donation to benefit Pasado’s Safe Haven, an animal rescue organiza-
tion. • For 35 years, Jerry Shipman has put up the blue and green lights to represent the cold, while his wife of 45 years, Edie, sets up the white figures in a manger on the lawn to replicate the Christmas Nativity. The home is located at 7846 122nd Ave. N.E.
