The Bellevue Collection’s tradition of Snowflake Lane
Snowflake Lane was created almost two decades ago and quickly grew into a cherished Pacific Northwest tradition. The founder of the Bellevue Collection and Snowflake Lane, Kemper Freeman, was inspired by visits to famous holiday epicenters across the nation. Upon his return to Washington, Kemper wanted to create a similar experience of joy for the community of Bellevue. Throughout time, the event has evolved into an unparalleled holiday experience where families can enjoy the most festive holiday celebration in the region.
