October
- Issaquah Salmon Days Festival. The Issaquah Salmon Days celebrate our region’s iconic fish with a parade, music, a kids obstacle course, dock dogs and more. Dates for 2026 are Oct. 3–4.
- Oktoberfest Northwest. At the Puyallup Fairgrounds, parents can sip the region’s newest brews, while kids go on rides and frolic in the root beer garden. Check the website for 2026 dates.
- St. Demetrios Greek Festival. Fulfilling all of your baklava dreams, the beloved St. Demetrios Greek Festival welcomes families to join in for delicious Greek food, music, dancing and other cultural festivities.
- Pumpkin patches and haunted houses. Find the perfect pumpkin and level of terror (even if that level is zero, like mine!) this year. Local farms pull out all the stops for fall fun and frights.
Up next: November
