As October rolls in, Seattle transforms into a city wrapped in the warm hues of Fall. With leaves turning golden and the air becoming brisk, it’s the perfect time to refresh your wardrobe. Whether you're navigating the city’s famous rain or enjoying a sunny Autumn stroll, dressing for comfort and style is key. Layering becomes essential, mixing cozy knits, classic boots, and versatile outerwear to embrace the seasonal shift in the most fashionable way.
Think cozy scarves in rich jewel tones, wide-brim hats to shield from those occasional rain showers, and statement gloves that add a touch of elegance. Don’t forget about chunky knit beanies and fun patterned socks peeking out from under your boots. Accessories are the perfect way to inject personality into your outfit while staying cozy and weather-ready. Meadow Boutique always has the best accessories for such reasonable prices. It’s a perfect go-to, so you can pick up exactly what you need!
As Fall settles in and the time to bundle up approaches, there’s still plenty of fun to be had outdoors, especially with Washington’s breathtaking Fall foliage. One of my absolute favorite activities during this season is hiking. There's something magical about being surrounded by nature while watching the leaves change into vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the crisp air and the beauty that Autumn brings. Here are a few hikes that will bring you joy in the season of color. Nature is forever giving and healing.
Best October Hikes Around Seattle:
Rattlesnake Ledge – A moderate, 4-mile round trip with stunning lake views and gorgeous fall foliage.
Twin Falls – A shorter, family-friendly hike with waterfalls, beautiful trees, and mossy landscapes.
Wallace Falls – A 5.6-mile round trip with striking views of waterfalls surrounded by autumn colors.
Snow Lake – A slightly more challenging 7-mile hike, perfect for enjoying alpine scenery and colorful fall trees.
Mount Pilchuck – For experienced hikers, this 5.4-mile trail offers expansive views that, in October, are framed by fall foliage.
October is indeed a lovely time to enjoy Seattle's outdoor beauty, as long as you're prepared for the occasional rain and changing conditions!
