Howl’s your Halloween planning going, Seattle? With just 12 days left until the big day, time is ticking to find a fa-boo-lous look. 👻
Being a basic witch or plain ol’ pumpkin isn’t quite this city’s style — so here are nine unique, Seattle-themed costume ideas to get you started, ranked by effort.
Sleepless in Seattle
No need to channel Tom Hanks or Meg Ryan. Just wear some comfy pajamas , carry around an alarm clock , and paint some bags under your eyes with makeup . Zzzzzzzz.
Pike Place pigs
Don some gold body paint and a piggy costume kit to pay tribute to those iconic bronze statues — oink oink.
Fremont Troll
Channel this famed statue with a gray hippie wig and a weird fake eye . Or think outside the box by wearing a Fremont vintage t-shirt and taping on print-outs of your most provocative tweets.
Gum Wall
Stick with us here — all this requires is some crafty work to create a brick wall you can wear , then just a whole bunch of Bubblelicious .
Can of Rainier
Create a wearable cylinder from a large piece of poster board , wrap it in tinfoil + slap a stenciled “R’ on that baby.
Pete Carroll
Strap on a headset and pull on a Seahawks long sleeve — then stress chew while hunched over to fully get into character.
Space Needle
We kinda like this dress for going out no matter the season, but you can accessorize with a homemade headpiece + glow stick attached to the top. Voila — you’re a city landmark.
Amazon Spheres
Buy a large clear poncho , give it some shape by fastening an exercise hoop inside, and then just carry around a couple of houseplants. Bezos would be so proud.
Seattle Dog
All you need is a regular ol’ hot dog costume
— only smeared with some white body paint
to make that delicious cream cheese. Also might make a great costume for Fido
.
