Don those boots, bust out the wheelbarrow, and get ready for a delightful seasonal day trip. It’s pumpkin patch time.
Bob's Corn and Pumpkin Farm
Snohomish
If your run-of-the-mill pumpkin patch doesn’t do it for you anymore, this Snohomish farm’s Fall Festival is far from average. Bob’s encompasses three different pumpkin-filled fields, stretching across 40 acres of rolling hills. The 60 varying types of pumpkins growing around you are only part of the draw. Fall-themed foods, an apple cannon, rope maze, corn crib, and cow train are ready for mass enjoyment.

The corn mazes have creative new designs every year.

Snohomish
A fall-themed photo shoot for your dog? Say no more. On select days, four-legged family members are welcome to join in the festivities at Craven (doggy Halloween costumes are highly recommended). Other times, this pumpkin patch with 41 years in the biz has an abundance of activities in which to take part, from the traditional to the very unconventional. Check the website for select late night hours as well.
September 23–October 29
Fall City Farms
Fall City
Have you ever wondered what a structure with walls made of pumpkins would look like? Maybe not, but Fall City Farms has achieved the unthinkable for anyone who ever dreamed of such an architectural feat. With glistening tangerine orbs lining the walkways and freckling the grass, this farm is high on the list of picturesque fall destinations.
September 30–October 29
Knutson Farms
Sumner
Knutson Farms is typically known for its rhubarb and flower production, but come fall, it’s the pumpkin’s time to shine. This working farm located in Sumner has been functioning for decades, and this year tricycle courses, farm animals, and hayrides await within.
September 30–October 29
Maris Farms
Buckley
Sure, you can trudge through mud in search of the perfect pumpkin, or ride a hay wagon and cheer on your favorite swine in the pig race. But if you’re someone who prefers to watch Scream over Hocus Pocus, Maris Farms' Haunted Woods is the answer. Without spoiling too much of the fun, just make sure you’re wearing something you can run in.
September 30–October 29
Pfaff's Old Time Farm
Auburn
This family-run farm has been in the area since the late 1950s, letting its pumpkins flourish wherever they please without pesticides throughout the 30-acre field. Fitting for the name, plenty of vintage items such as trucks and various machinery have also found their way onto the lot to seal the deal on the old-school experience. Plus, you can go back for a Christmas tree in a couple months.

Carnation
Last year, Remlinger Farms introduced its own brewery, which opened on weekends during the farm's Fall Harvest Festival. This year, look for Oktoberfest events on select weekends. Not to mention the 25-plus different activities, from pony rides to go-carts to a giant slide.
September 23–October 31
Serres Farm
Redmond
Pumpkins come in several varieties, shapes, and hues, and Serres Farm knows it. A small animal-themed train takes tots around the farm, but anyone can trot through the patch in search of the farm’s many variations. Bonus points if you can find the ones called “Warty Goblins.” There's a corn maze for good measure.
Dates TBD

SNOHOMISH
There are small rustic farms, and then there’s Stocker, with 30 different attractions for families: hayrides, a candy cannon, the bubble barn, a cow train, jumping pillows, a trike track, a zipline, and endless photo backdrops for ghoul-filled Instagram feeds. Fireworks happen every Saturday night in October.
