CHS Pics Hilloweens goblins, ghouls, and quite a few umbrellas
Seattle's Hilloween celebrations showcased the community's resilience, with rain impacting 50% of Halloween events since 2020. This year's festivities followed a subdued Hilloweekend due to power outages in the Pike/Pine district, yet trick-or-treaters in Capitol Hill made the most of the situation. Many donned costumes inspired by the weather, such as "Atmospheric River," while others brought umbrellas. CHS captured vibrant scenes from the Capitol Hill Trick or Treat Hot Zone, highlighting the neighborhood's spirit. To maintain its paywall-free model, CHS seeks community support for local journalism.
The organization emphasizes the importance of covering neighborhood events and stories. Observers are hopeful for a drier Hilloween in 2026 as the tradition continues. Local engagement remains crucial for sustaining community news.
