| | The countdown to Halloween is on and this weekend’s roundup includes lots of non-scary family fun. For starters, we have a pumpkin carving party, a popular Halloween activity on Capitol Hill and a high-flyin’ Halloween bash. We also have a Halloween party for preschoolers, a hilarious production based on a children’s fairytale and an artsy fartsy Halloween event. If you’re looking for even more non-scary fun, head to the Seattle Waterfront for Trick-or-Treating (pictured), games and activities and stop by the Seattle Aquarium for under water pumpkin carving demonstrations, Halloween activities, games, treats and face painting. photo: Downtown Seattle Association Seattle Family Fun Night: Pumpkin Carving
