Welcome to Emerald City Critters!
Recent News/Updates
Our Critters made another appearance at the fun and festive Jingle Bell Run Seattle to benefit the Arthritis Foundation back on December 8! Our holiday-themed characters, including a reindeer, brought many smiles and memories to the participants of the 40th JBR. Over $168,000 was raised for the Arthritis Foundation to help with research and providing aid to those battling this disease that affects 50 million Americans. Photos of our appearance are up in the Photo Gallery and a video is coming soon!

Bad weather didn't stop our Critters as we made a return appearance at the City of Algona, WA's annual Algona Day Parade and Festival! It was one of the rainiest August days in local history but our characters brought some smiles, Critter cheer and great memories for those who attended. Video of our appearance is on our Youtube and some photos can be found in our Photo Gallery above! Thanks to Gary Klein and the City of Algona for inviting us back to this fun community event!
