SEATAC, Wash. -- Every holiday season for 25 years there were Christmas trees at the airport serving Seattle. But one complaint -- accompanied by the threat of legal action -- was enough to get them removed.
Officials at Sea-Tac Airport said a rabbi with the Central Organization for Jewish Learning calls them offensive. He hired a lawyer and threatened to sue -- demanding the airport put up an eight-foot menorah to balance the message of the Christmas trees.
An airport spokeswoman said the two sides couldn't reach an agreement before the suit was to be filed. So all 15 trees were removed, though other holiday decorations remain.
