KOMO and FOMO Frame #ManInTree

A Pacific Northwest sequel to Balloon Boy.

In 1947, Edmund Gwenn starred as Kris Kringle in Miracle on 34th Street, the story of a Macy’s Santa Claus who claimed to be the real thing. This week, an individual who has yet to be identified but who has been compared by many to the character of Yukon Cornelius is starring in what we will call Boondoggle on Pine Street.

Since the Tuesday lunch hour in Seattle, the bearded man, perhaps homeless, has been perched inside, atop and occasionally hanging upside down from the branches of an 80-foot Sequoia tree planted in 1973 in front of the downtown Macy’s.
