Celebrating Halloween While Staying Safe

10/5/2020

Halloween is looking a little different this year....

Some of our favorite events and activities have been identified as HIGH RISK by the CDC. While trick-or-treating, trunk-or-treating and indoor haunted houses are Halloween traditions, it is important that we maintain social distancing this Halloween season. Not forever. Just for now. 

My kids LOVE Halloween! And so do I.
​Which activities are safe?


Trick-or-treat scavenger hunt at home

Grab your costume and trick-or-treat with household members. Hide treats, candy and other goodies around the house for your little ones to find. 

Unsure where to start? Pinterest has some great ideas!

Host and online costume or pumpkin carving contest

Not sure how to host a contest? Look online for local coalitions or community groups who may be hosting one! These are great, family-friendly and low-risk activities that allow you to continue the spooky festivities! 

Have a Halloween movie marathon with household members OR virtually with friends

Grab the popcorn and have a movie marathon of all your spooky favorites! 

Did you know that Netflix offers virtual Netflix parties?! This allows you to watch your favorite movies with friends and family that do not share a household with you. Learn more here!

Healthy Halloween Countdown 

Who says you can't celebrate Halloween all month long?! Have fun every day with this Healthy Halloween Countdown from Snohomish Health District. Click here for the full version.

These are some great ideas! Are there any activities we should avoid? 

Due to their high-risk nature, the following activities are discourage by the Washington State Department of Health. Learn more here.

Gatherings

Halloween gatherings, events, or parties with non-household members that violate the gathering limitations outlined in Governor Inslee's Safe Start Plan. 

Traditional trick-or-treating (handing candy to kids who knock on your door) and large groups of trick-or-treaters

Trick-or-Treating


Trunk-or-Treat

Trunk-or-treat gatherings with multiple households that facilitate crowding around treats and violate the gathering limitations outlined in Governor Inslee's Safe Start Plan

Indoor haunted houses are not permitted. Haunted houses must be designed as a no-touch outdoor activity with a one-way path. 

Indoor Haunted Houses
