Hood Canal Communications (HCC) is bringing holiday cheer to Union with its first-ever illuminated decorations on select power poles throughout the community. This festive initiative marks a new tradition for Union, the community HCC has proudly served the longest.

Inspired by HCC’s participation in the Shelton-Mason Chamber of Commerce beautification program in Shelton, HCC General Manager and Vice President Mike Oblizalo led the effort to purchase and install the decorations in Union. Each pole-mounted display features a 5-foot star snowflake with garland, adorned with cool white and blue lights to create a dazzling winter scene.

The decorations will debut in time for the Alderbrook Resort’s Annual Tree Lighting Celebration on Friday, November 28, 2025, ensuring Union shines bright alongside one of the area’s most beloved holiday traditions.

“This project reflects our commitment to the communities we serve,” said Oblizalo. “We’re thrilled to help make Union sparkle this holiday season.”

HCC extends its sincerest gratitude to its dedicated employees and Mason County PUD 1 for making this project possible.
