Dispatches from Ravenna, a neighborhood in Northeast Seattle
We realize that we posted this picture on Halloween last year, but we’re still pretty darn proud of our handiwork:
Grew those ginormous zukes at Picardo, too.
We’ll be Trick or Treating on our street tonight, as is our custom.
How do you spend your Halloween evenings in the neighborhood? Tell us in the comments — they WORK now!
How much fall family fun can be had for just three dollars a person?
Find out Friday, October 21, as the Ravenna-Eckstein Community Center (6535 Ravenna Ave NE) holds its Fourth Annual Freaky Fall Festival.
Halloween's still a couple weeks off, but that doesn't mean you can't try out your costume early.
From the event description:
It’s that spooky time of year again! Join us for this annual evening of treats and a few tricks. Come in costume and enjoy carnival style games, crafts, a jumpy toy, and more! Meet your neighbors, let your kids loose in the gym and have fun!
The event runs from 6-8PM. After that, you’ll have to find somewhere else to haunt.
Those spiders look serious.
Halloween is coming up on Sunday, but that doesn’t mean your kids can’t put their costumes on earlier in the week!
The Northeast Library (6801 35th Ave NE) has FOUR upcoming Halloween activities for your boys and ghouls to enjoy.
Both Story Times this week will include some Not-So-Spooky stories. Costumes are encouraged, and Children’s Services Librarian Erica will be wearing one herself!
The Northeast Library is also participating in the Wedgwood Halloween Trick-or-Treat on Friday, October 29 from 4-6 pm.
And, last but not least, the library will also receive trick-or-treaters during their open hours on Halloween itself (October 31, from 1-5pm).

We’ll also mention that on Saturday, October 30, at 10:15 am, Children’s Librarian Marita will be back to treat you to more Spanish and English stories and songs.
Thank to you Erica for the information for this post!

UPDATE (12:53pm): I’ve got some pictures of a few of the decorations and games you can play at tonight’s Freaky Fall Festival:
GAH!!
THREE PINS DOWN! AH AH AHHH.
EEEEK!
TOSS THE RAT IN THE TOILET GAME. Fantastic!
Friday, October 29, 6-8pm – Pumpkin Party Pizzazz! (all ages, $3)
Decorate a mini pumpkin and make Halloween crafts. We’ll watch “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on the big screen and snack on yummy treats. To reserve your pumpkin, please register by 10/22.
I think the latter event is worth attending for “Great Pumpkin” on the big screen ALONE. But if you want to paint a pumpkin, too, the RECC asks that you register by TODAY.
