There’s an excellent chance we missed something fun. If so, let us know.

So, what are you going trick or treating as? Let me guess… jseattle! Cool costume!

Kid-appropriate spooky events below are marked with the little orange crow .

Happy Halloween.

All Weekend

  • Monsters on Broadway — all weekend at Pine and Broadway

 Monsters on Broadway is a temporary art installation set up on the grounds of Seattle Central Community College. Consisting of dozens of artist designed “monsters”, these life size wood cut outs will be set up on the corner of Pine and Broadway. This installation will allow the public to interact with them as some will have “cut outs” for fun and whimsical photo opportunities. The vibrant and urban designed “monsters” will represent the diversity and creativity of Capitol Hill and because of their central location, will attract 1000’s of passerby’s.

To celebrate Halloween, join us at the iconic (and 100 year old) Sorrento Hotel for a walk-through of our hair-raising haunted suite. From October 28th – 31st, the Madison Room will be decked-out in festive spooky décor for those who love a silly-scare. You may even spot, Ms. Alice Toklas, our resident ghost and former resident in the early 1900’s. Ms. Toklas wanders the Sorrento hallways and is rumored to be searching for the love of her life who left for the Alaskan Gold Rush and…never returned!

No charge, open to the public.

Also Sunday: Occupy Seattle’s Night of 1000 Jack-O-Lanterns at Westlake Park. We’ll carve pumpkins starting at 2pm, then light them at dusk. Bring friends, family, kids, pumpkins, and 3″ carving knives. We’re seeking donations to fill the gaps. If you can’t stay, please drop off a carved pumpkin.

Oops, that’s not on Capitol Hill, but organized by your friendly soon-to-be-Capitol-Hillster occupiers.

Just tried to go to Melrose Market with my kid. Only one store even offered my kid (who was obviously dressed up) any candy. The rest were basically rude and non-participating.

The people at Marigold and Mint were particularly rude. The woman said, “this is a mask painting class. It’s $25. And it’s full.”

Even Calf & Kid, where we dropped more than $30 in cheese basically didn’t offer anything (despite the note above).

I’m fine if places don’t want to offer trick-or-treating or be kid friendly, but don’t advertise that you’re going to be doing something and then have no one participate. It’s just a disappointment all around.

If the weather is decent enough on Sunday, the chamber’s parade and fun is in its second year and should be even better. Really sorry to hear about Melrose :(
