Anthony Mish spends hundreds of hours every year to celebrate the holidays Seahawks style.
The Kirkland resident covers his house in more than 100,000 lights, which includes a custom Seahawks logo on the roof.

And in return, someone allegedly stole his truck recently, KING 5 reports. The contractor’s flatbed was filled with about $10,000 worth of tools and the loss will not be covered by his insurance.
“It was pretty heartbreaking,” Mish told KING 5.
Mish’s friends started a GoFundMe campaign to help Mish replace his lost belongings. However, he told KING 5 any money raised is likely going to go to charity, just like the canned food, toys and other items he’s donated in the past.
Though it’s difficult to nail down an exact number, Mish told KIRO Radio’s Josh Kerns that he’s spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on the display.
It’s become a popular holiday destination since he started opening his home to the public about three years ago. He estimates about 20,000 will come by throughout the holidays. However, he doesn’t charge. He does ask for food and toy donations.
