The big one this weekend is
Issaquah Goes Apples on Saturday, October 17th, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Historic Downtown Issaquah, free to attend, with a farm fresh market, a cider press, scarecrow building, live music all morning, and guided salmon hatchery tours at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The same morning, the
Lake Washington Half Marathon starts at 8 a.m. from Juanita Beach Park in Kirkland, so plan around the course if you are driving the Juanita lakefront.
Remlinger Farms in Carnation runs its Fall Harvest Pumpkin Festival Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Ragtime closes its Issaquah run at Village Theatre with five performances between Friday and Sunday. The
Redmond Saturday Market has three Saturdays left, counting this one, the City of Redmond hosts a Harvest Festival at Farrel-McWhirter Park, Redmond Town Center throws a free Howl-O-Ween pup parade, the Halloween Train rolls out of Snoqualmie and North Bend both days, and Woodinville offers a working harvest afternoon at Sparkman Cellars. In Seattle, the Sounders host CF Montréal Saturday night, MANA plays Climate Pledge Arena, Refract fills glass studios across the city through Sunday, and the Water Lantern Festival lights up Seward Park Saturday and Sunday evenings. The Seahawks, Huskies, and Kraken are all on the road. In Snohomish County, the five Snohomish pumpkin farms are at peak season, with night mazes and haunts after dark, and the Everett Farmers Market has two Sundays to go.
Eastside first, then Seattle, then Snohomish County. Every date, time, and price below was checked against the organizer's own page on October 15th. Details can change, so confirm before you go.

Issaquah Goes Apples: the Saturday to build around
Downtown Issaquah's fall street festival spreads along Front Street from the Historic Shell Station to the La Piazza lot. Expect a farm fresh produce and flower market, an artisan market, an apple cider press, scarecrow building, live music from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a turkey carving demonstration at Fischer Meats at 1 p.m. The Issaquah Salmon Hatchery, a short walk away on Sunset Way, offers guided tours at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., and the hatchery grounds are open dawn to dusk at no charge if you would rather wander on your own. Downtown restaurants run an apple inspired food tour from October 17th through the 31st. Street parking fills early on Front Street; arrive before 10 a.m. or plan on the side streets off Sunset Way by mid morning.
Lake Washington Half Marathon: what changes in Kirkland
Orca Running's half marathon starts at 8 a.m. in four waves from Juanita Beach Park and the course closes at 11:30 a.m. The 2026 course was rerouted because of Cross Kirkland Corridor construction, so expect intermittent road impacts around Juanita and the lakefront through late morning. Parking is available at Juanita Beach Park and nearby streets, but the field across the street is no longer open to parking. The organizer recommends the Peter Kirk Municipal Parking Garage downtown (420 spaces, four hours free), with shuttles from Kirkland Avenue between 7 and 7:30 a.m. and return shuttles from 9 to 11:45 a.m. If you are showing homes or heading to an open house in Juanita Saturday morning, give yourself an extra 15 minutes.
Remlinger Farms and the Halloween Train: the pumpkin weekend
Remlinger Farms in Carnation is open Friday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with last admission at 5 p.m. and rides closing at 6. Tickets are $33.95 online for ages 2 to 64 and $1 more at the gate, subject to capacity, so buy ahead for Saturday. In Snoqualmie and North Bend, the Northwest Railway Museum runs its Halloween Train both days, with departures every two hours and an activity stop at the Railway History Campus on Stone Quarry Road. Closer in, the City of Redmond's Harvest Festival at Farrel-McWhirter Park has fresh pressed cider, tractor wagon rides, butter making, and a forest scavenger hunt in two sessions on Saturday; the city page does not post the pass price, so call 425-556-2900 before you go.
Seattle Highlights: October 16th to 18th
No Seahawks, Huskies, or Kraken home games this weekend. The Seahawks played Thursday night at Denver and return to Lumen Field on October 25th against Kansas City. The Huskies play at Purdue on Friday, October 16th, at 5 p.m. Pacific, and the Kraken are on an East Coast road trip until October 20th. The Sounders are the home team on Saturday.

Here's What I Suggest
Saturday route. Start at the Redmond Saturday Market on Willows Road when it opens at 9 a.m., then head south along Lake Sammamish to Issaquah Goes Apples by 10:30 a.m., catch the 11 a.m. hatchery tour, and eat lunch on Front Street. If pumpkins are the priority, swap Issaquah for Remlinger Farms in Carnation and buy the online ticket before you leave. Woodinville is the afternoon option: the Sparkman Cellars harvest party runs 1 to 5 p.m. and Chateau Ste. Michelle's happy hour music starts at 5. Steer clear of Juanita Drive and the Kirkland lakefront before 11:30 a.m. while the half marathon course is live.
One Seattle plan. Saturday evening in SoDo and Seattle Center is the busy one: Sounders at 7:30 p.m. at Lumen Field and MANA at 8:30 p.m. at Climate Pledge Arena, so take Link light rail from the Eastside and skip the parking search. For a quieter Sunday, the Water Lantern Festival at Seward Park opens its gates at 3:30 p.m. with the launch at dusk, and Seattle Restaurant Week starts that same day.
Open houses. Saturday mornings are prime open house hours on the Eastside, and this weekend's events put you in Issaquah, Redmond, Kirkland, and Woodinville anyway. If you want a list of what is open near any of these stops, or a read on what a specific home should sell for in this market, call or text Tony Meier & Team at 425-466-1000 or visit
EastsideHomes.com.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Issaquah Goes Apples free?
Yes. There is no admission charge to walk the festival, the markets, or the live music. Vendors sell produce, food, and crafts, pumpkins are offered for a donation, and the salmon hatchery tours at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. should be booked ahead through Downtown Issaquah.
Will the Lake Washington Half Marathon close roads in Kirkland?
Expect rolling road impacts around Juanita Beach Park, Juanita Drive, and the lakefront from the 8 a.m. start until the course closes at 11:30 a.m. The organizer recommends parking at the Peter Kirk garage downtown and riding the shuttle, which leaves Kirkland Avenue between 7 and 7:30 a.m.
Are the Seahawks playing this weekend?
No. Seattle played at Denver on Thursday night, October 15th. The next home game at Lumen Field is Sunday, October 25th, against Kansas City. The Huskies are at Purdue on Friday evening and the Kraken do not return to Climate Pledge Arena until October 20th. The Sounders host CF Montréal Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
Which pumpkin farm is closest to the Eastside?
Remlinger Farms in Carnation is about 30 minutes from Redmond and runs Friday through Sunday. The Snohomish cluster (Swans Trail, Bob's Corn, Craven, Stocker, and Thomas Family Farm) is about 45 minutes from Kirkland via Highway 9 and offers night mazes and haunted attractions after dark. The Redmond Saturday Market and the Harvest Festival at Farrel-McWhirter Park are the choices closest to home.
Is this the last weekend for the farmers markets?
Not quite. The Redmond Saturday Market runs through October 31st, so two Saturdays remain after this one. The Everett Farmers Market's final Sunday is October 25th. The Edmonds Museum Summer Market lists its season as May through October. The Bellevue, Kirkland, Issaquah, Woodinville, and Sammamish markets have already closed for the year.
