It’s going to be a wet one. But that doesn’t mean Capitol Hill’s trick-or-treat hot zone won’t be fully activated Wednesday night. We’ve been running this map out for a few years now with tweaks provided by our Halloween candy analysts. This year’s map includes a few additional hot spots to be aware of involving Little Shop of Horrors, a twisted circus and Thriller.
Neighborhood rankings provided by Zillow are bunk. Don’t rely on them. Loyal Heights doesn’t even exist. Phinney Ridge is dangerous — note the ridge part. And how are kids supposed to get through the big gate surrounding Madison Park?

CHS analysis, on the other hand, includes on-the-ground intelligence gathering about preparation activity and decoration measurement. In both metrics, the Capitol Hill hot zone mapped here is off the charts. We’re hearing talk of supply depots overflowing with more than 1,200 Tootsie pops.

You’ll also find both 16th Ave E and 17th Ave E south of Aloha blocked to car traffic — another important factor in our deep analysis. Just make sure to be careful when you cross Aloha. Oh, and also brush up on your Thriller moves.
As for getting there, please consider parking around the Miller Community Center and hopping on the 12 or take the 10 up 15th Ave E.
The weather has some forecasting smaller numbers of trick-or-treaters on the streets of Seattle this year. Do not be lulled into complacency. Our analysis shows that what the 2012 kids lack in numbers, they will make up in appetite. Yes. We’re thinking you should buy the full-size bars.
Candy buy-back
The candy hot zone is also the location of a candy buy-back program. Beginning November 2nd, you can trade in your hard won booty for $1 per pound at the 19th/Aloha Tully’s. Candy collected in the Keith B. Wong, DDS sponsored buy-back will be packed up and shipped out to service men and women overseas.

You’re confusing Madison Park with Broadmoor, the actual gated community down there.
Note that when the English hear the word “Broadmoor” they smile a little and think of this:

What an excellent idea! Kudos to Dr. Wong! The Great Pumpkin used to collect at our house the day after Halloween, but his idea is even better.
