If you’re looking for a safe, distanced, Santa photo this year, head to Kent Station to take photos with Santa at his Kent house. There is plexiglass in the doorway and Santa will be excited to see you from the other side of the plexiglass (so he won't be wearing a mask because he's completely separated from all of the wonderful children who are coming to visit)... Whoever is in the photo may take their mask off once they are on the porch and ready for the photo.
Reservations are encouraged, but walk-ins will be taken as space allows.
The Landing in Renton invites the community to share their wish lists and take festive holiday photos with Santa Claus from Black Friday, November 26th, through Christmas Eve, December 24th.
During this time, guests will find Santa in his holiday home next to Trenchers Kitchen & Tap. Visitors are asked to observe all state and local COVID healthcare regulations and to reschedule their visit if they feel unwell; masks are strongly encouraged, but can be removed for photos. If bringing pet, visitors must keep them on a leash or hold the animal. Santa’s hours vary; while reservations are recommended, walk-up visits will be accommodated.

Pre-register for a visit and photo with Santa! This outdoor event will take place on the back patio of the Auburn Community & Events Center.
Be sure to bring your camera or phone for Santa's Elves to snap your picture!
To allow for social distancing and to keep everyone safe, time slots will be available upon registration. There will be a table with drinks and cookies while you wait for your visit with Santa. Kids under 16 will also receive a goodie bag that includes fun prizes and a holiday craft!
Santa's out to break his record and chat with all the kids face-to-face this year. When we asked him how he'd do that, he said, "Easy! Just have them call me." His words exactly. Schedule your kiddo's one-on-one with Santa today!
Ticket sales will go to support Operation Warm, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, with a guaranteed donation of $10,000 to each charity.
