The fact that Yakima doesn't have a Spirit Halloween is ridiculous.

Not that Yakima is owed a Spirit Halloween but we've had one regularly for the past several years. It's fun to pop in, see the displays, wishing you could buy them all and put them around your house. When it comes to shopping for a quick and easy costume, Spirit Halloween is perfect for all ages and sizes.

There were several rumors of where Spirit Halloween was slated to go in Yakima, and not that it's too late as there's still a slight chance that Yakima could get a Spirit Halloween late in the season, but as we're quickly approaching October, it's starting to seem pretty unlikely Yakima will have a Spirit Halloween in our area.

There are a few within driving distance if you don't mind a drive to Tri-Cities, Wenatchee, Moses Lake, and Spokane.

Spokane has two Spirit Halloween stores and another knock-off store called Halloween Experience or something. Also proving if a local business owner wanted to open their own seasonal Spirit Halloween-type store, nobody is stopping anyone.

As luck would have it, I needed to drive to Spokane as it was so, while I was in town, I checked out one of the Spirit Halloween locations just to see what Yakima was missing out on.

Here's what I saw.

LOOK: Best Beers From Every State

To find the best beer in each state and Washington D.C., Stacker analyzed January 2020 data from BeerAdvocate, a website that gathers user scores for beer in real-time. BeerAdvocate makes its determinations by compiling consumer ratings for all 50 states and Washington D.C. and applying a weighted rank to each. The weighted rank pulls the beer toward the list's average based on the number of ratings it has and aims to allow lesser-known beers to increase in rank. Only beers with at least 10 rankings to be considered; we took it a step further to only include beers with at least 100 user rankings in our gallery.
