From decked out homes to hilly routes, trick-or-treating in Seattle is no joke. | Photo by SEAtoday staff
Whether you’re new here or just want to venture off your usual path, these neighborhoods are the creme de la creme for Seattle trick-or-treating.
Ravenna | This northeastern Seattle neighborhood is known for its Candy Corn Lane where the surrounding houses come alive (or undead) for trick-or-treating.
Ballard | For all Type-A parents out there, Ballard is a great solution to the typical Halloween chaos with the neighborhood’s interactive trick-or-treating map.
Queen Anne | The Queen Anne Chamber of Commerce is hosting “Trick or Treat on the Ave” starting at 3:30 p.m. — a perfect option for families with early bedtimes.
Montlake | Aka “Hauntlake,” Halloween is on another level in this neighborhood — just take a look at its “Trick-or-Treat House.”
Pro tip: Seattle trick-or-treating typically starts around 4 p.m. and ends around 7 p.m.
Jeff Bezos just officially cut his last big tie to Seattle — the billionaire sold his longtime mansion for $63 million. Not exactly a Prime deal. Bezos and fiancee Lauren Sánchez swapped the Pacific Northwest for Miami nearly two years ago. (Fortune)
💰 But how much do Bezos’ new digs cost? Scroll to the end of the section to take a guess.
Announced
Good news for nudists. A King County Superior Court judge ruled that Seattle has done enough to address community concerns — meaning Denny Blaine Park can stay open through spring. What do you think about the new clothing-optional areas and increased staffing? Let us know. (Seattle Times)
Development
A Seattle landmark is getting the boot. The former Howard S. Wright headquarters — famous for its Brutalist architecture — is slated for demolition to make room for new apartments. Apparently, the 43-year-old building is mostly vacant. (Daily Journal of Commerce)
Community
Construction is officially underway on the New Hope Family Housing Project — a step toward affordable housing. The development will also house office space for NHCDI and Clean Greens, the nonprofit produce market rooted in food justice and fresh starts. (Seattle Median)

Do you eat ice cream year-round? So does The Infatuation, apparently — it just rounded up the best ice cream spots around town. See if your favorite made the list.(The Infatuation)

Gosh darn it, I was really rooting for the Mariners. Here’s hoping the Dodgers soundly beat the Blue Jays tomorrow. This guy gets it.
Did you know? Both Teoscar Hernández and Chris Taylor formerly played for the Mariners before heading to the Dodgers. To make things even juicier, Hernández has also played for the Blue Jays. Awkward.
