Capitol Christmas Tree visits Spokane
The Capitol Christmas Tree, cut last week in the Colville National Forest, made a stop in Spokane Tuesday, Nov. 5, 2013. The 88-foot Engelmann spruce was neatly packed on a flatbed with a clear plastic side panel where the curious could see the top of the tree, which had a few decorations and lights installed. The tree will tour the region before heading to Washington D.C. to be displayed on the lawn in front of the U.S. Capitol. View Picture story: 2013 U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree Cutting Ceremony
