Here’s where to find five Seattle haunted houses and Halloween attractions in 2026.

Georgetown Morgue

Georgetown Morgue offers a haunted walkthrough in Seattle’s industrial south end, with dark passages, sudden scares, and intense sound and lighting effects.

Organizers do not recommend the attraction for children younger than 12. Visitors should leave costumes and masks at home, as neither is allowed inside. The haunt operates in the rain, and visitors may wait outdoors.

• When: Select nights through Nov. 7. Check the organizer’s calendar for individual dates and hours.

• Where: 5000 E. Marginal Way S., Seattle
