Pacific Northwest Fall Festivals & Pumpkin Patches – Western Washington for 2020

Sharing is caring!

 

It’s that time of year for our big list of Pacific Northwest fall events  and pumpkin patches list we compile for you! Since this is 2020 & a crazy year, things definitely look different, but we still found some fun events for you, whether they are with new procedures to follow for you to visit the pumpkin patches or with drive-thru, pickup or virtual events for the Cider Squeezes & fall events. But you can still make it fun with your family!

If you see an event that we missed, leave a comment & I’ll add it to the post! Let us know what your favorites are, too, and what you like about them!

Make sure to check out our list of the best places to check the autumn leaves around the Northwest, too !  And we have a list of reviews of Northwest Pumpkin Patches as well, to give you more details about local pumpkin patches.
