It's that time of year again. Thousands of kids across the Olympia area will throw on their favorite costumes, don their best heavy jackets, and brave the dark for buckets of free candy, accompanied by parents who struggle to stay warm throughout the evening. Halloween is a night enjoyed by adults and kids alike, and as you and your family plan your All Hallow's Eve, what are some of the best neighborhoods in the Olympia area for trick-or-treating?
To find out, we asked our agents, who gave us a list of the best neighborhoods in our community to celebrate Halloween.
Cedrona
Located down the road from The Evergreen State College, this neighborhood is a perfect place to take kids for their trick-or-treating. The tucked-away community is filled with beautifully constructed homes and sidewalks made for walking traffic. It may take a few minutes to get there, but the Cedrona will be well worth your time.
And a special bonus for the kids...it's a great neighborhood for large candy bars.
South Capitol Neighborhood
It's only fitting that one of the oldest neighborhoods in Olympia is also one of the best to go with your kids for Halloween. Located in the shadow of the Capitol, there are plenty of small side streets filled with easy-access homes, and the residents take their Halloween responsibilities seriously.
"South Capitol neighborhood is amazing," agent Rhyan Smith says. "It's a safe place to walk around with kids, and they give out great candy."
