Here’s How You Can Get A Free Christmas Tree in Washington State

It’s that time of year and if you like a real Christmas tree, here’s a way that you can get a tree for free.

As a kid, I remember my foster Dad and me going out to find the perfect tree and it’s still one of my favorite memories. It can be a family adventure and a lot of fun.

If you have a fourth-grader in your home, Washington State is giving those kids a free Christmas tree with a new program.
