Holiday celebrations take many forms on the waterfront. Blaze Nash transported carolers around the Waldo Point Lagoon on her little red tugboat Otto. Gate 6 1/2 and Issaquah staged progressive potlucks with entrees provided by the Floating Homes Association; Issaquah partiers were encouraged to wear Christmas sweaters: ugly, festive, fun, naughty, or nice.

Liberty Dock took its show on the road to the Seahorse with a live band called The Creatures of Habit. East Pierians gathered at their usual party pad, the home of Wilford Welch and Carole Angermeir.

Docks and homes sported garlands, wreaths, tinsel, menorahs and all manner of holiday decorations.

No doubt there were plenty of other celebrations, but your intrepid reporter couldn’t get to them all. It’s been a holiday season to remember.
