It goes without saying that October is dominated by Halloween events—and Seattle takes the season of ghouls and gourds very seriously—but it’s also filled with concerts, major author appearances, festivals, food & drink events, and tons more. As we do every month, we’ve compiled the biggest events you need to know about in every genre, from Morrissey and Interpol to Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, from the Earshot Jazz Festival to the Seattle Queer Film Festival, and from Seattle Restaurant Week to Refract: The Seattle Glass Experience. If all of that isn’t enough, you can also look ahead to the rest of this year’s big events, see our list of cheap & easy year-round events, or check out our complete Things To Do calendar.
