City of Kirkland to host Halloween Costume Swap

The City of Kirkland is offering a Halloween Costume Swap where residents can trade in their old costumes for another.

The city is collecting gently-used costumes, masks and accessories in the lobby at City Hall from Sept. 25 to Sept. 29. Then, on Sept. 30, residents are welcome to come to the Peter Kirk Room on the lower level of City Hall between the hours of 10-11:30 a.m. to select a donated costume.

“Although you’re encouraged to donate if you’d like to receive a costume, you don’t have to bring a costume to take one,” according to a city press release. “Give what you can, and take what you need. Costumes of all sizes – from baby to adult – are accepted. Items should be clean and in good, wearable condition (e.g. no broken zippers, not mildewed, torn only if intentional).”

Last year more than 50 people came to the event and took home new-to-them costumes. For more information, email recycle@kirklandwa.gov.
