Holiday Updates from West Seattle Nursery

 

November 12, 2026

Christmas Trees

Our Alpine Noble Christmas trees have arrived, and the first one found its new home yesterday!

 

West Seattle Nursery’s first Alpine Noble Christmas Tree sale of the year!

 

More varieties are coming Tuesday, November 17th. Online tree sales go live Friday, November 20th. Online orders are for delivery only. We cannot hold Christmas trees for pickup.

We’d love to help you choose your tree in person. Our team is always happy to help secure the tree to your vehicle for you.

New: Christmas Tree Delivery Fee

We work hard to keep our prices low, but rising fuel and product costs mean we need to add a delivery fee. Starting November 14th, Christmas tree deliveries within West Seattle will have a $20 fee. Pricing outside West Seattle is unchanged, so check our delivery map for details.

Pet Portrait Updates

All pet portrait slots are now booked, but there’s still plenty of holiday cheer to pose with! Our decorations around the nursery make a lovely backdrop, and once the photographers have wrapped up, our Greenhouse mantle is open for your own photos.

If you have an appointment, here’s what to know:

  • Arrive early. Please arrive 5 minutes before your window and wait under the popup tent behind the Greenhouse. We’ll call your name when it’s your turn. Grab some hot cider under the carport while you wait!

  • Be on time. Sessions are back-to-back, so punctuality helps everyone. If you miss your window, you’re welcome to wait and see if we can fit you in at the end, though we can’t guarantee it.

  • One appointment per person or group.

  • Can’t make it? Please cancel in advance so a neighbor can take your spot.

  • Be mindful of others. Each 15-minute block includes 5 separate sessions.

  • Waitlist note. Signing up for waitlist notifications doesn’t guarantee a booking.

Questions? Please reach out to West Seattle Nursery.

Seattle Giving Garden Network

The Seattle Giving Garden Network will join our Open House from 11:30 am to 2 pm! Their mission is to support Seattle gardeners in growing organic, locally sourced produce for food banks, street kitchens, and other essential food pantries. They work from a perspective of abundance, offering gardeners who donate their harvest resources like seeds, plant starts, funding, and networking opportunities.

Their Sprouts Program here in West Seattle is looking for volunteers. Check out our Holiday Open House event page to see who else will be joining us.
