Go for a train ride
All aboard! Train rides are fun any time of the year, but they’re extra special on select weekends in October. Take a ride on the Northwest Railroad Museum’s Halloween Train (38625 S.E. King St., Snoqualmie) and then enjoy special Halloween stories, old-fashioned cider pressing and other activities for kids at the museum.
Farther afield, join Snoopy and the Peanuts gang on The Great Pumpkin Patch Express at the Mount Rainier Railroad (54124 Mountain Hwy. E., Elbe). As the steam train winds through the foothills of Mount Rainier, you’ll read “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Wear your Halloween costumes and go trick-or-treating through a historic logging camp.
