Remlinger Farms Fall Harvest Pumpkin Festival

Remlinger Farms runs its Fall Harvest Pumpkin Festival in Carnation, just east of Seattle, with more than 70 attractions covered by one wristband and a pumpkin field described as the size of a small town. The grounds claim the biggest pumpkin patch in Washington state, more than 60 acres of pumpkins and corn, and a Pumpkin Village of hay-bale streets and photo corners. Included rides include the Mine-Twister, Steam Train No. 65, tractor hay rides, and Flying Pumpkins, plus ponies and goats. Signature bites are the Caramel Apple Delight, pumpkin-pie-spiced mini-donuts, apple pull-apart bread, and hand-dipped caramel apples. Pony rides, the zipline, gem mining, and the apple cannon are add-ons.

Our take: Ride Steam Train No. 65 around the farm, then get the pumpkin-pie-spiced mini-donuts in Pumpkin Village.
