Pumpkin patch and u-pick farms in the Seattle / King county areas are becoming more popular as we get closer to Halloween. Many go to pick the perfect pumpkin, while others go to enjoy the corn maze, or take the kids to the petting zoo. Whatever your taste is, here are all the local pumpkin patch/farms in the Seattle, King and Snohomish area.
Yesterday I told my wife, "It's getting close to Halloween and its time to go to the pumpkin patch with the kids?" We packed the car, the kids, and snacks then made our way out to Carnation as that's where our number one pumpkin patch farm is located; Remlinger Farms.
When we arrived we could see a row of cars lined up and families getting out running to the entrance. That got our kids pumped and excited as they too shouted with excitement.
We got out, made our way towards the entrance thru puddles of water to get to the pumpkin patch. WOW! There were so many people out enjoying the weather, corn mazes, hot cider, and the hay rides. We had such a great time take a look at the pictures below.
