Why buy a new costume when you could flex those creative shopping skills and fashion your own look from vintage finds?
Here are three spots for the perfect haunted haul.
Pretty Parlor is an excellent place to shop if you would describe your ideal aesthetic as bubblegum chic.
Pretty Parlor, Capitol Hill
Ready to make a big statement? This place is glam-meets-costume-party. Think tulle, corsets, pastels, glitter, and dramatic silhouettes — perfect for turning yourself into a vintage starlet, fairy queen, or a 1950s housewife gone spooky.
Red Light Vintage, U District
Red Light is a go-to spot for Halloween shoppers every year. It has a large back area specifically dedicated to costumes, wigs, accessories, and themed vintage apparel.
Bon Voyage Vintage, Pioneer Square
If you’re planning a throwback look, this is your best option. The shop specializes in vintage from the 1950s to the 1990s. Ideal if you’re building a costume from scratch or want something totally original.
Peloton is shifting gears with a new retail move — launching a “microstore” at Alderwood Mall this month, one of 10 sleek new locations rolling out nationwide. You’ll be able to see the new Cross Training equipment in person. (PeloBuddy)
Closing
Mbar is closing its doors for good. The popular Seattle rooftop restaurant will serve its final meal on Saturday, Nov. 1, citing a drop in business during colder months. The closure also marks the end of the Mama group’s restaurant era as it pivots to selling pre-packaged food. (Eater Seattle)
Sports
472. That’s the number of pitches thrown in the historic Game 5 of the Mariners-Tigers ALDS. But how are things going against the Jays? Locked On has the details.
Development
Big changes are coming to Lynnwood. The City Council has greenlit a 13-acre mixed-use project that includes an expansion of the Lynnwood Event Center — part of a larger push to create a bustling city hub. (Puget Sound Business Journal)
Tech
Bellevue’s tech scene just got a boost. Databricks is expanding its footprint downtown with a new real estate investment, marking a bigger local presence for the AI giant. The tech company will take over nearly 40,000 sqft at City Center Bellevue. (Puget Sound Business Journal)
Legacy
Seattle author and journalist Ken Mochizuki has died. He is remembered for his impactful children’s book, “Baseball Saved Us” which follows a Japanese American boy in an internment camp during WWII. (Seattle Times)
Real Estate
House hunting in Medina? A former Microsoft VP just listed his estate packed with luxe perks — think gym, sauna, spa, wine cellar, elevator, and even a bocce court. Check the price tag. (Puget Sound Business Journal)
