Fall Fun: Red Tricycle’s Roundup of Pumpkin Patches Near Seattle
By Lauren Mang October 23, 2013
While some of us can’t resist the heaps of orange and white gourds at the nearby (read: easily accessible) grocery stores (I piled my cart high weeks ago with knobby and gnarled squashes, fat green pumpkins and oversized orange ones destined for my sub-par carving skills), there are plenty of people who love a good trek out to the pumpkin patch. And why not? It sounds like a whale of a good time, especially for pint-size pumpkin fans–many patches have corn mazes, petting zoos, inflatables, hayrides, hot kid-friendly beverages and beyond.
The team over at Red Tricycle Seattle has put together a great list of the best pumpkin patches within an hour’s drive from the city. In their roundup: Dr. Maze’s Farm in Redmond, Remlinger Farms in Carnation, Auburn’s Mosby Farms and Bob’s Corn Maze and Pumpkin Farm in Snohomish.
A few of our editors are fans of the family-friendly Thomasson Family Farm in Enumclaw, featuring pumpkin carving, a 216,000-square-foot corn maze, a barn full of corn kernels to jump in, climbable tires and tractors, and more autumn fun galore. It’s open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. daily through October 31. Happy pumpkin picking!

It’s a phrase that’s been drilled into most of us since we were young children: When you’re visiting a gallery, please, do not touch the art. In many cases, it’s with good reason: the pieces on display are fragile, one-of-a-kind, or historic works that cannot be reproduced. It’s such an ingrained approach to the museum-going…

Circular Thinking I am very lucky to live just a 12-minute walk away from Seattle Art Museum’s Olympic Sculpture Park. It’s a regular destination for my weekly walks and, aside from the world-class art, has one of the city’s best views of Puget Sound. Earlier this week, I went on a wet, windy walk and discovered…
