SEATTLE

Ahh, the beginning of fall. It marks the end of long summer days spent frolicking in the green backdrop of the Emerald city. Luckily, Seattle is a marvelous city fit for any season, and the colder weather brings no shortage of activities (just be sure to dust off those rain jackets). This issue will show you all the best places to indulge in delicious seasonal snacks (page 14), where to experience diverse cultural celebrations (page 16) and the spookiest spots in town for those brave souls with a penchant for fear (page 18). After you’ve been chased by monsters and eaten your way through the city, we know where you need to go for some much-deserved R & R (page 56). Here’s hoping you’ll have a frightfully fun time!

COZY FALL FLAVORS

There may be a nip in the air, but it’s never too cold for ice cream, especially with such flavors as vegan coconut chunk, vegan plum crisp, sweet honey corncakes and pumpkin clove.

Pumpkin may reign supreme, but there are many worthy contenders.

PUMPKIN SPICE, CRANBERRY, APPLE CINNAMON, PECAN, PEAR, FIG, BUTTERNUT SQUASH, PEAR, MAPLE, CHAI—there’s something inherently comforting about fall flavors. Everyone eagerly awaits Starbucks’ pumpkin spice lattes each year but they’re not the only ones who boast fall specials. Cupcake Royale, Seattle’s beloved cupcakery, offers seasonal flavors each month. Their October specials include roasted cherry goat cheese, apple streusel, pumpkin cardamom, and fig and honey. If you prefer the classics, they still have their lineup of permanent flavors like the red velvet, salted caramel, lavender, tiramisu, coconut bunny and royale with cheese. Every cupcake is made with fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, ensuring that you’re getting the highest quality in your tasty treat. For further indulgence, be sure to try some of their award-winning ice cream. cupcakeroyale.com 14

Halloween Happenings Discover Seattle's spooky side with our guide to haunted places, terrifying tours and ghastly ghost stories.

WHE RE I A U G U ST 201 8

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE this Halloween: Do you prefer screaming "Don't go in there!" at gruesome horror movies or feeling the hairs at the back of your neck stand up upon hearing a subtly spooky ghost story? Or do you like to pass on the scary stuff altogether in favor of good old-fashioned fun like trick-or-treating? Brave grown-ups, family-friendly—however you like to celebrate the season, Seattle has an event for you. Check out a few of our favorites.

CLOCKWISE: ©CARLOS PARADINHA,JR./THE CONSERVATORY; ANDREW GIANMARCO/HOTEL SORRENTO; ROBERT DE GUILIO/UNDERGROUND TOURS

TERRIFYING TOURS A hidden world of abandoned storefronts and sidewalks lies beneath the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, buried when the area was regraded and rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1889. Hear about paranormal activity as you're guided through the subterranean passageways, said to be haunted by the souls who perished there, on one of the Underground Paranormal Experience (undergroundtours. com) tours running at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays this month.

Back above ground, Spooked in Seattle's nightly walking tours (spookedinseattle.com) takes brave souls through Pioneer Square for more stories about the ghosts who are said to haunt the city's oldest neighborhood.

GHASTLY GHOST STORIES With these long, chilly nights, there's no better season to curl up with your favorite scary novel or to queue up the horror blockbusters on Netflix. But if there's one thing we should all know from that genre, it's don't go it alone.

Join fellow thrill-seekers to listen to spooky stories at local bars as part of Seattle Public Library's annual Booktoberfest (spl.org/booktoberfest), which features events such as "Ales from the Crypt" nights at Optimism Brewing (10/23), "Ghastly Tales and Cocktails" at The Conservatory (10/25) and Naked City Brewing (10/29).

Rumored to be one of the most haunted places in Seattle, Hotel Sorrento (hotel sorrento.com) will celebrate its reputation this month with "Sorrento Curiosities," a series of spirited events that include Tarot Tuesdays weekly card readings (10/9, 10/16, 10/23 and 10/30). Events take place in the century-old hotel's intimate Fireside Room, where you can also order a hot toddy and ask the bartender to tell you a tale about strange happenings.

Break the tension with laughs at the Thursday night "Campfire" shows by Unexpected Productions (unexpectedproductions.org), the theater located behind the Gum Wall at Pike Place Market.

The company's improv troupe will use true stories from the audience as the basis for their skits, which promise to be both scary and hilarious.

Love scary movies? You won't want to miss the new "Scared to Death: The Thrill of Horror Film" at MoPOP (mopop.org). Recommended for ages 13 and up, this exhibit features more than 50 props and costumes from your favorite horror film classics such as "Friday the 13th," "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Dawn of the Dead." Visitors will learn about some of the genre's greats while experiencing firsthand the chilling sensations of cinematic terror in a series of galleries, such as a vampire's lair and a killer's den, as well as partake in interactive photo ops and much more.

NOTHING TO FEAR Halloween doesn't have to be horrifying; there are lots of family-friendly goings-on that offer thrills without the chills.

Don your costumes and head to the "Museum of Fright" event at the Museum of Flight (10/28, museumofflight.org) for G-rated aviation-themed ghost stories, Frankenstein’s Lab, carnival-style games and activities, and an obstacle course under the Blackbird.

The Halloween fun at Seattle Aquarium (10/26-10/28, seattleaquarium.org) will include underwater pumpkin carving and on-land carving with a master carver, facepainting, spooky games and more.

Capitol Hill's annual "Hilloween" (10/27, caphilloween.com) features old-school Halloween fun including a kid's carnival, costume parade and trick-ortreating on Broadway.

Seattle for Music Lovers Trace back the lineage of Seattle's rich music history.

SEATTLE IS THE BIRTHPLACE of the electric guitar, the grunge scene and many icons of jazz, hip-hop, rock and alternative music. Follow our tour to learn about the people and places that make the city a destination for music lovers.

DOWNTOWN AND BELLTOWN The heart of the city offers live music venues. For classical buffs, there's Benaroya Hall (200 University St., seattlesymphony. org), the home of the acclaimed Seattle Symphony, and for jazz fanatics, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley (2033 Sixth Ave., jazzalley.com) and Tula's (2214 Second Ave., tulas.com) are musts. Showbox (1426 First Ave., showboxpresents.com), Paramount Theater (911 Pine St., stgpresents.org) and The Crocodile (2200 Second Ave., thecrocodile.com) draw some of the hottest acts in the alternative, rock and hip-hop worlds.

CAPITOL HILL

©GRADY TYREE/EAST STREET RECORDS; KARI TAYLOR/KEXP; COURTESY MOPOP

One of Seattle's hippest neighborhoods, "the Hill" is often recognized as the main location of the grunge-era flick Singles, and it's still a mecca for alternative music lovers today, thanks to venues like Neumos (925 E Pike St., neumos.com), Chop Suey (1325 E Madison St., chopsuey.com) and "Black Sun," the Isamu Noguchi sculpture at Volunteer Park that inspired Soundgarden's biggest hit. A statue of Seattle native Jimi Hendrix at the corner of Broadway and Pine is a perfect photo op for classic rock fans.

WEST SEATTLE Anchoring the northwest corner of California Avenue and Alaska Street since 1989 is Easy Street Records & Café (4559 California Ave. SW, easystreetonline.com), considered one of the best record stores in the country.

It’s easy to see why—in addition to an almost overwhelming selection of new and used records from every genre, the shop boasts an awesome café where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch diner classics, and hosts regular in-store performances by up-and-coming local musicians and already famous acts alike. Over the years, Lou Reed, Steve Earle, Lana Del Rey, Pearl Jam, Macklemore, Brandi Carlile and hundreds more have played these free, all-ages shows.

Those who love playing music as much as listening to it should head to Thunder Road Guitars (4736 California Ave. SW,

thunderroadguitars.com) to geek out over the amazing display of rare and vintage Gibsons, Fenders and more.

CENTRAL DISTRICT Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones and Sir Mix-aLot all grew up in this once-predominantly African-American neighborhood, which was the epicenter of Seattle’s jazz scene for the first half of the 20th century, and later funk and soul music. The landmark Washington Hall (153 14th Ave., washingtonhall. org), built in 1908, was central to the area’s rich history, welcoming those local names as well as Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and other legends to its stage. Recently restored to its former glory, it once again serves as a place to showcase the arts.

QUEEN ANNE Originally staffed by University of Washington students when it launched in 1971, KEXP-FM (472 First Ave. N., kexp.org) has become one of the country’s best-known public radio stations, thanks to its eclectic programming and strong record in discovering new musicians. In 2016, KEXP moved into its new home in Seattle Center. The station’s Gathering Place features a stage for free, all-ages in-studio shows, comfy seating, the world’s first La Marzocco Café and a window into the DJ booth—so you can sip while they spin. It also offers free behind-the scenes tours at 2 p.m. every day.

Originally launched as the Experience Music Project, the Museum of Pop Culture a.k.a. MoPOP (325 Fifth Ave. N, mopop. org) continues to draw music fanatics with exhibits like “Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses,” a showcase of the history of the Seattle-based band with a closer look at more than 200 rare artifacts, photographs and oral histories, “Wild Blue Angel: Hendrix Abroad, 1966-1970,” an immersive look into the superstar’s life on the road, and “Pearl Jam: Home and Away,” a collection of instruments, stage props, original art, and a photo op with the towering letters from the band's debut album, "Ten."

Halloween Happenings Discover Seattle's spooky side with our guide to haunted places, terrifying tours and ghastly ghost stories.

18

WHE RE I A U G U ST 201 8

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE this Halloween: Do you prefer screaming "Don't go in there!" at gruesome horror movies or feeling the hairs at the back of your neck stand up upon hearing a subtly spooky ghost story? Or do you like to pass on the scary stuff altogether in favor of good old-fashioned fun like trick-or-treating? Brave grown-ups, family-friendly—however you like to celebrate the season, Seattle has an event for you. Check out a few of our favorites.

CLOCKWISE: ©CARLOS PARADINHA,JR./THE CONSERVATORY; ANDREW GIANMARCO/HOTEL SORRENTO; ROBERT DE GUILIO/UNDERGROUND TOURS

TERRIFYING TOURS A hidden world of abandoned storefronts and sidewalks lies beneath the historic Pioneer Square neighborhood, buried when the area was regraded and rebuilt after the Great Fire of 1889. Hear about paranormal activity as you're guided through the subterranean passageways, said to be haunted by the souls who perished there, on one of the Underground Paranormal Experience (undergroundtours. com) tours running at 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays this month.

Back above ground, Spooked in Seattle's nightly walking tours (spookedinseattle.com) takes brave souls through Pioneer Square for more stories about the ghosts who are said to haunt the city's oldest neighborhood.

GHASTLY GHOST STORIES With these long, chilly nights, there's no better season to curl up with your favorite scary novel or to queue up the horror blockbusters on Netflix. But if there's one thing we should all know from that genre, it's don't go it alone.

Join fellow thrill-seekers to listen to spooky stories at local bars as part of Seattle Public Library's annual Booktoberfest (spl.org/booktoberfest), which features events such as "Ales from the Crypt" nights at Optimism Brewing (10/23), "Ghastly Tales and Cocktails" at The Conservatory (10/25) and Naked City Brewing (10/29).

Rumored to be one of the most haunted places in Seattle, Hotel Sorrento (hotel sorrento.com) will celebrate its reputation this month with "Sorrento Curiosities," a series of spirited events that include Tarot Tuesdays weekly card readings (10/9, 10/16, 10/23 and 10/30). Events take place in the century-old hotel's intimate Fireside Room, where you can also order a hot toddy and ask the bartender to tell you a tale about strange happenings.

Break the tension with laughs at the Thursday night "Campfire" shows by Unexpected Productions (unexpectedproductions.org), the theater located behind the Gum Wall at Pike Place Market.

The company's improv troupe will use true stories from the audience as the basis for their skits, which promise to be both scary and hilarious.

Love scary movies? You won't want to miss the new "Scared to Death: The Thrill of Horror Film" at MoPOP (mopop.org). Recommended for ages 13 and up, this exhibit features more than 50 props and costumes from your favorite horror film classics such as "Friday the 13th," "A Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Dawn of the Dead." Visitors will learn about some of the genre's greats while experiencing firsthand the chilling sensations of cinematic terror in a series of galleries, such as a vampire's lair and a killer's den, as well as partake in interactive photo ops and much more.

NOTHING TO FEAR Halloween doesn't have to be horrifying; there are lots of family-friendly goings-on that offer thrills without the chills.

Don your costumes and head to the "Museum of Fright" event at the Museum of Flight (10/28, museumofflight.org) for G-rated aviation-themed ghost stories, Frankenstein’s Lab, carnival-style games and activities, and an obstacle course under the Blackbird.

The Halloween fun at Seattle Aquarium (10/26-10/28, seattleaquarium.org) will include underwater pumpkin carving and on-land carving with a master carver, facepainting, spooky games and more.

Capitol Hill's annual "Hilloween" (10/27, caphilloween.com) features old-school Halloween fun including a kid's carnival, costume parade and trick-ortreating on Broadway.

Seattle for Music Lovers Trace back the lineage of Seattle's rich music history.

SEATTLE IS THE BIRTHPLACE of the electric guitar, the grunge scene and many icons of jazz, hip-hop, rock and alternative music. Follow our tour to learn about the people and places that make the city a destination for music lovers.

DOWNTOWN AND BELLTOWN The heart of the city offers live music venues. For classical buffs, there's Benaroya Hall (200 University St., seattlesymphony. org), the home of the acclaimed Seattle Symphony, and for jazz fanatics, Dimitriou's Jazz Alley (2033 Sixth Ave., jazzalley.com) and Tula's (2214 Second Ave., tulas.com) are musts. Showbox (1426 First Ave., showboxpresents.com), Paramount Theater (911 Pine St., stgpresents.org) and The Crocodile (2200 Second Ave., thecrocodile.com) draw some of the hottest acts in the alternative, rock and hip-hop worlds.

CAPITOL HILL

©GRADY TYREE/EAST STREET RECORDS; KARI TAYLOR/KEXP; COURTESY MOPOP

One of Seattle's hippest neighborhoods, "the Hill" is often recognized as the main location of the grunge-era flick Singles, and it's still a mecca for alternative music lovers today, thanks to venues like Neumos (925 E Pike St., neumos.com), Chop Suey (1325 E Madison St., chopsuey.com) and "Black Sun," the Isamu Noguchi sculpture at Volunteer Park that inspired Soundgarden's biggest hit. A statue of Seattle native Jimi Hendrix at the corner of Broadway and Pine is a perfect photo op for classic rock fans.

WEST SEATTLE Anchoring the northwest corner of California Avenue and Alaska Street since 1989 is Easy Street Records & Café (4559 California Ave. SW, easystreetonline.com), considered one of the best record stores in the country.

It’s easy to see why—in addition to an almost overwhelming selection of new and used records from every genre, the shop boasts an awesome café where you can enjoy breakfast and lunch diner classics, and hosts regular in-store performances by up-and-coming local musicians and already famous acts alike. Over the years, Lou Reed, Steve Earle, Lana Del Rey, Pearl Jam, Macklemore, Brandi Carlile and hundreds more have played these free, all-ages shows.

Those who love playing music as much as listening to it should head to Thunder Road Guitars (4736 California Ave. SW,

thunderroadguitars.com) to geek out over the amazing display of rare and vintage Gibsons, Fenders and more.

CENTRAL DISTRICT Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones and Sir Mix-aLot all grew up in this once-predominantly African-American neighborhood, which was the epicenter of Seattle’s jazz scene for the first half of the 20th century, and later funk and soul music. The landmark Washington Hall (153 14th Ave., washingtonhall. org), built in 1908, was central to the area’s rich history, welcoming those local names as well as Duke Ellington, Billie Holiday and other legends to its stage. Recently restored to its former glory, it once again serves as a place to showcase the arts.

QUEEN ANNE Originally staffed by University of Washington students when it launched in 1971, KEXP-FM (472 First Ave. N., kexp.org) has become one of the country’s best-known public radio stations, thanks to its eclectic programming and strong record in discovering new musicians. In 2016, KEXP moved into its new home in Seattle Center. The station’s Gathering Place features a stage for free, all-ages in-studio shows, comfy seating, the world’s first La Marzocco Café and a window into the DJ booth—so you can sip while they spin. It also offers free behind-the scenes tours at 2 p.m. every day.

Originally launched as the Experience Music Project, the Museum of Pop Culture a.k.a. MoPOP (325 Fifth Ave. N, mopop. org) continues to draw music fanatics with exhibits like “Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses,” a showcase of the history of the Seattle-based band with a closer look at more than 200 rare artifacts, photographs and oral histories, “Wild Blue Angel: Hendrix Abroad, 1966-1970,” an immersive look into the superstar’s life on the road, and “Pearl Jam: Home and Away,” a collection of instruments, stage props, original art, and a photo op with the towering letters from the band's debut album, "Ten."
