The Eater Seattle Guide To Halloween 2021 

It may not look quite like 2019, but this year’s Halloween options are a lot tougher than last year. Many Seattle restaurants and bars offer Halloween specials, events, screenings, or costume contests. For example, the fried chicken spot Taku became Tak-BOO for the season – with Halloween trivia, film screenings and a costume contest – and the Hotel Sorrento is holding its second annual zombie soiree and witches tea on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

There are also a number of kid-friendly trick-or-treat trails in the neighborhood sponsored by like-minded restaurants and businesses, such as Kirkland’s Treat Street, Othello’s OthelloWeen, the West Seattle Junction Harvest Festival, and more.

Here’s a round-up of some of the most exciting Halloween events on offer at Seattle’s restaurants, bars, and cafes.

King County requires proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test within the last 72 hours to enter restaurants, bars, and cafes. Outdoor Halloween activities have a lower risk of transmitting COVID-19, and it’s a good idea to bring hand sanitizer with you if your children (or you) reach into communal candy bowls. Please visit the King County COVID-19 Policy website for more information.
