The Best Trick-Or-Treat NeighborhoodsStadium District
This district utilizes many of its locally owned businesses to act as perfect makeshift trick-or-treat stops. But once all the festivities done, or youre ready to try your luck with houses in the area, we highly recommend taking advantage of Yakima Avenues historic mansions and large homes. Everyone knows theyve always got the best candy and door-to-door treats or elaborate holiday decorations.
Fircrest
Those looking for something in the central part of downtown that feels just as small and approachable as it does quaint will be pleased with the cute charm of this neighborhood. Wed recommend checking the Fircrest Community Center during the day for festive events. But the real allure of this neighborhood is how popular it is at night to other trick-or-treaters.
Proctor District
Every year, this neighborhood is a good bet to get a healthy mixture of business and local shop-sponsored trick-or-treating events. And the streets are often closed to traffic for a few hours. Plus, once the events end, the houses in the area are just as easy to visit. This area is usually known for pulling out all the stops.
Whitman Elementary Neighborhood
Houses that live closer to schools are likely to have kids of their ownand likely to be a popular destination for those looking for quantity. Stick to the areas between S 38th and 48th streets and South K Street for homes that deck themselves out.
