Less than two weeks until Halloween, and we are continuing to highlight decorations. Tonight, Lacey tells us her “Last Resort Hotel” has arrived for the season:
We have our Halloween haunt all set up again this year! Lots of things to see by day, and spookier to see at night – we are The Last Resort Hotel. Located just off Roxbury, 9643 18th Ave SW. (If you love the Grinch, you might also know us as Whoville at Christmas!)
Just like last year, we will have the yard open again for trick-or-treating and are also accepting donations for WC Food Bank! We have a full yard walk-through display that will only be open for a few nights. October 30 & 31, 5 pm- 9ish. If the weather is nice, I will also have it open on Saturday, October 24, and I will let the Blog know if I do! That said, there are many decorations to view outside of the yard leading up to Halloween, like The Last Resort Cemetery, where the Gravedigger is keeping an eye on things!
We are welcoming donations for WC Food Bank again and will have a QR code posted and a donation bin available. I will also put a donation bin out in front of my display in the next few days, if people would like to donate unopened food items – look for a black cooler labeled Donations. I will check it regularly.
We have a full yard walk-through display, with lots of hotel “amenities”, like the Witch Way Cafe, Last Gasp Gifts and Doll Parts Daycare. The hotel boasts a cemetery and morgue. Last Resort Coven meetings are currently being held in the witches’ den. Zombies will be there to greet you along the way!
Our theme is very fun! I’m a kid of the ’80s and I would say my display is inspired by old Scooby-Doo episodes, vintage Halloween etc. I love decorating and a lot of the display is handmade by myself, like all of the cemetery fencing, my huge pumpkin king, the mausoleum and spooky well. I have lots of fun with the signage too, it helps to tell the story!
Please come visit us and donate if you can! I have a few regular fans who come visit the display, which I love! I’ve offered a sneak peek to some, so if you see me out in the yard, say hi! I love how much joy it brings people, it inspires me to keep going!
Got – or seen – decorations that others should see too? Photos/tips welcome at [email protected] or texted to 206-293-6302 – thank you!
