Paddleboard Santas Delight I-90 Commuters Friday
A gaggle of paddleboarders all dressed as Santa Claus made the Friday commute across Lake Washington just a little merrier.
MERCER ISLAND, WA - Commuters creeping along I-90 Friday morning got a little holiday cheer. A group of paddle boarders each dressed up as Santa Claus traveled the waters alongside the floating bridge around 8 a.m.
This isn't the first year for the paddle board Santas. The merry paddle boarders have been spotted since at least 2015.
Check out this video of the paddling Santas in action captured by WSDOT cameras:
