In a festive display of creativity, KIRO Newsradio's team won the 2023 Bonneville Seattle Gingerbread House competition with a whimsical design featuring a car crash into Santa's house. This annual event encourages participation from various departments, fostering community and creativity in the workplace. The competition featured impressive entries, including the Seattle Sports team's 'Most Classically Beautiful' creation, crafted by Justin Barnes. The Sales, Promotion, and Admin departments received accolades for 'Best Use of Props,' showcasing a KIRO-branded truck and a creatively constructed radio tower.
