Published September 2022 | Updated September 2023
Welcome to the cozy season, folks. In the Pacific Northwest, it’s a lifestyle. Across the region, people are burrowing their heads into Carhartt beanies, ordering PSLs, and gearing up for one of October’s best traditions: pumpkin patches.Ā
If you went to a farmerās market this summer, you know Seattle is insanely close to a thriving agricultural community. Local gourd-growers go all-out with festive extras like haunted corn mazes, fire pit rentals, and live music. Carpool to one of these patches to pick your perfect pumpkināmini ornamental baby boos? a giant blue Cinderella?āand go home a little happier.
Donāt forget your boots š„¾
Pumpkin patches can get muddy after even a little rain. Bring a waterproof pair that you donāt mind getting dirty, and some clean sneakers to slip on later. If youāre in a large group, lay out a tarp or plastic trash bag in your trunk to stash your muddy boots.Ā

Last year’s viral “corn-bassador” TariqĀ has done a number on corn’s national PR, so I’m guessing Bob’s Corn & Pumpkin Farm will beĀ doubly popularĀ this fall.Ā
