Soon, the leaves will turn color, the air crisp, and the sweets pumpkin spiced. (This just in - the sweets are already pumpkin spiced.)

Haunted Houses and Scary Screams
Not for the faint of heart, the options for a scary Halloween adventure involve haunted houses and joy-charged jump scares. Stalker Farms in nearby Snohomish offers two story-driven haunted paths and a legit corn maze, and is beloved by haunt fans for production value. Located at the Nile Shrine Golf Course in Mountlake Terrace, the Nile Nightmares Haunted House has scare zones like the Curse of The Nile, Deadman's Cove, and Hillbilly Holler Trail, as well as four horror themed escape games like Escape from The Crypt and Freight Elevator. Enjoy local food trucks and carnival treats, and if you need a little liquid courage, enjoy the Fear Garden for spooky cocktails.
Located in nearby Tacoma at a historic trainstation, Frighthouse Station is a haunted house with high-detail, story driven horror. Expect pitch darkness, strobe lights, foggers, and a cast of very realistic creatures that attack from all directions. Head 20 miles south of Bellevue for the Haunted Forest of Maple Valley's 2025 show, themed "Terror Rising." Experience a family walk on Sundays, and the full fright show on Fridays and Saturdays through Halloween Day. The indoor/outdoor haunted house is held in the "haunted trails" of the Royal Arch Park, and has a parade to participate in and food trucks to eat at. Finally, the Fright Factory is one of the best Haunted Houses in America, and it really is scary. They do not claim to be child friendly, as patrons typically run out screaming. The actors will get up close and personal, but they'll never grab you. Enjoy!

For spooky stories based on true stories, Spooked in Seattle Tours offers a 90 minute walking tour in Seattle's oldest neighborhood. The experience is filled with real stories, actual evidence, and paranormal activities, all above ground.
