The trees are trimmed and the ornaments are hung. At the Sheraton Grand Hotel, that's a sure sign it's time for the return of one of Seattle's most beloved holiday traditions, the 28th Annual Gingerbread Village. "We are so excited. It is a tradition for so many people and for our hotel being the center of the community is so important for us," said Callette Nielsen, General Manager of the Sheraton Grand Seattle. Free and open to the public, the Sheraton Grand Gingerbread Village benefits the Northwest Chapter of the JDRF, which funds Type 1 Diabetes research. This year's theme is "Buzzing Back," which is fitting since the Village is back for the first time since 2019.
