5 Best Pumpkin Patches Near Seattle You Can’t Miss This Fall

Swans Trail Farms (Snohomish, WA)

Swans Trail Farms is one of the most popular fall destinations in Snohomish, and for good reason. Their 50-acre pumpkin patch is massive, with plenty of different varieties spread across the fields. I love that you can choose how you want to experience it… you can just pick pumpkins and enjoy the farm scenery, or you can dive into all of the festival activities if you’re looking for a bigger day of fun.

One of the things that really makes Swans Trail stand out is their Washington State Corn Maze. It’s a huge 12-acre maze designed to look like the state itself, with pathways that actually map out highways, rivers, and landmarks. It’s such a fun detail and turns what could be just another corn maze into something memorable and unique. Beyond the maze, the farm has plenty of other activities like wagon rides, duck races, and a barnyard full of animals, which adds to the family-friendly atmosphere. And of course, there’s plenty of cider and fall treats to round out your visit.

Because it’s such a well-known farm, weekends here can be crowded. I recommend going early in the day or planning a weekday visit if you want a little more space to wander the patch and enjoy the attractions.

Swans Trail Farms is located just 30 minutes outside of Seattle (45 minutes outside of downtown Seattle) at 7301 Rivershore Road in Snohomish, and their fall festival runs daily from September 13 through October 31, 2025, typically from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission varies depending on whether you’re just there for pumpkins or want access to all the activities, so definitely check their website before you go.

Stocker Farms (Snohomish, WA)

Stocker Farms is another Snohomish favorite, and I love coming here because it feels like fall/Halloween overload in the best way possible. Their pumpkin patch has plenty of variety, with rows of pumpkins in all shapes and sizes, plus classic photo ops that make it feel like you’re stepping into a Halloween postcard. The fall festival here is big and lively, with a corn maze, sunflower fields, games, and food stands that make it easy to spend an entire afternoon wandering around.

But honestly, my favorite part of Stocker Farms isn’t the pumpkins… it’s their haunted attractions. Every year they transform part of the farm into “Stalker” Farms, which is a full haunted experience complete with haunted houses, spooky corn mazes, zombie paintball, and jump scares that are actually really well done. If you’re into Halloween as much as you are into pumpkin patches, this is the spot that combines both worlds in one trip.

Like most Snohomish farms, weekends can get really busy, so I recommend going early in the day for the pumpkin patch and then sticking around into the evening if you want to experience the haunted side.

Stocker Farms is located at 8705 Marsh Road in Snohomish, and the fall festival runs daily from late September through October. Admission prices vary depending on whether you’re just there for the festival or you want to add the haunted attractions, so definitely check their website and book tickets ahead of time.

The Stocker Farms fall festival runs this year from September 20 through November 1, 2025!

Maris Farms (Buckley, WA)

Located in neighboring Pierce County, Maris Farms may be smaller than some of the big name pumpkin patches closer to Seattle but it still packs in a ton of fall fun. The pumpkin patch has plenty of variety, and during the day you’ll find hay rides, barnyard animals, games, and more than 25 activities spread across the farm. It’s a great option if you’re looking for a pumpkin patch that feels a little more manageable while still delivering all the classic fall festival experiences.

What makes Maris Farms especially stand out is their haunted attraction. Their Haunted Woods is one of the top Halloween attractions in the region, and it runs during weekends right alongside the fall festival.

This year, both the fall activities and Haunted Woods run from September 27 through October 26, 2025, so you can plan a trip that covers pumpkins during the day and spooky thrills after dark.

You’ll find Maris Farms at 25001 Sumner-Buckley Highway in Buckley, WA, with tickets available online for both daytime and haunted attractions.

FAQs About Visiting Pumpkin Patches Near Seattle

What is a U-Pick Pumpkin Patch?

A U-Pick pumpkin patch is where you walk right into the fields and pick your own pumpkin directly off the vine! It’s more interactive than grabbing one from a bin and makes the whole experience feel more authentic (in my opinion!). If you’re planning a day out to the pumpkin patch, it’s a good idea to wear comfortable shoes and clothing you don’t mind getting a little muddy. Seattle during this time of year can be pretty rainy, so it’s a good idea to dress appropriately for any conditions.

Which pumpkin patch is closest to downtown Seattle?

The closest pumpkin patch to Seattle is Carpinito Brothers in Kent, which is usually about a 25 to 30 minute drive from downtown if traffic is light. It’s a really popular choice for families and anyone who wants the full fall experience without spending hours on the road.

Another great option that’s still fairly close is Stocker Farms or Swans Trail Farms, both are in Snohomish. They’re both a little farther than Carpinito Brothers, usually about 40 to 45 minutes from downtown, but they’re both worth the slightly longer drive time if you can manage.

Do you need a car to visit pumpkin patches near Seattle?

To visit the farms on this list, you will definitely need access to a car because there are no public transit options that connect Seattle to these farms directly.

Many of the farms are located in Snohomish and Pierce counties and public transit options are limited. If you don’t own a car, you can rent one for the day through a site like Discover Cars which usually has affordable day rates. Carpooling with friends is another great option, since parking lots can get busy on fall weekends.

Are there any pumpkin patches near Seattle that are dog friendly?

Since most pumpkin patches are working farms, pets are not typically allowed for the safety of both animals and crops. The one farm on this list that does welcome dogs is Maris Farms in Buckley. They allow well-socialized, leashed dogs to join you during your visit as long as you register your pet at the information booth when you arrive. You will need to bring waste bags and clean up after your dog, and keep in mind that dogs are not permitted inside the Haunted Woods attraction.

If you are visiting with a service dog or service animal, I recommend reaching out directly to the farm you are interested in before your trip to confirm their current policy. Each farm sets their own rules, and while Maris Farms is currently pet friendly, others may not be. Always double-check before you go so you are not disappointed at the gate.

Which pumpkin patch near Seattle has the best views of Mount Rainier?

Carpinito Brothers in Kent has some of the most stunning views of Mount Rainier on a clear day. The farm is set against the backdrop of the valley and, if the skies cooperate, you will see the mountain towering in the distance while you wander through the pumpkin patch. It makes for a pretty incredible fall photo backdrop and is one of the reasons this patch is so popular.

Since Carpinito Brothers Farm is only about 25 to 30 minutes from downtown Seattle, you can get both the convenience of a quick trip and the bonus of mountain views without having to drive too far south!
