Long, Russ
As a Santa I have shared himself with thousands of children and adults for 22+ years. I have primarily been Santa with many years at Bellevue Square and The Space Needle, but have also participated in several corporate holiday parties. My life revolves around being Santa – drive a red car, live in a red house, most shirts are red, and maintain my beard year round. It has been my privilege to be a part of families over multiple years as their children have grown up. Being the only Santa at The Space Needle (for 12+ years) I have had the opportunity to visit with people from all over the world, and the view from the top is spectacular. I am a member of the NORPAC Santas and the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS). Peace and joy to all.

Costello, Patrick
In a perfect world, your job falls to you naturally. For 31 years, I was a Seattle mailman and every Christmas I WAS THE MAN DELIVERING JOY & PRESENTS TO ALL OF MY PATRONS. The suit was a hat, red pants, jacket, and a string of bell proceeding a bearded, jolly, giant St, Nick, with a pouch full of presents. Since then, I’ve done a few parties and was very entertaining the last Christmas seasons as a sometimes singing Santa Claus at the downtown Macy’s, Westwood Village Mall, and Redmond Town Center. The Town Center was pretty entertained when they sang “Here Comes Santa Claus” & I (Santa Claus) joined the performance! “Dog Gone Great Santa !” I love for reading to children, home visits(did a Christmas in July party), corporate events, or whatever events express the JOY of the season. Located in South Seattle/Sea-Tac area.
