Complaints about traffic and noise have prompted a Kirkland man to turn off the lights — 175,000 of them — at the “Hawk House,” which has attracted thousands of visitors to the elaborate football-themed Christmas light display.
The celebrated “Hawk House” in Kirkland — an elaborate football-themed Christmas display that attracted thousands of visitors — will be dark this holiday season, a victim of its own success.
Neighbors complained last year about traffic, noise and flashing lights — 175,000 of them — from Thanksgiving through Christmas. The fierce Seahawks logo that seemed to float above the house’s dark roof was lighted into the new year, through the playoffs.
