For 2025, we continued to help transform Skyway Park, get out the vote, keep community informed, and pulled off Skyway’s largest Halloween party in the middle of a fierce storm. And we did it all together, with the greatest neighbors around.
Despite 40-mph gusts and sideways rain, nearly 1,000 costumed characters descended on downtown Skyway for West Hill Community Association’s Halloween Takeover on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
We’re taking over the heart of the Skyway Business District! Start at the block party next to the fire station for free family fun and get your official Treat Trail map. Multiple activity stations will be located on and around Renton Avenue South between 75th and 76th Avenue South.
What a year! We brought movies to the park for the first time, took over multiple blocks with a Halloween festival for the second time, painted a mural, restored precious green space, helped get out the vote and vital information, and so much more. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights!
Skyway’s biggest Halloween event returned on Saturday, October 26, 2024. More than 800 neighbors braved the rain and enjoyed fun activities, attractions, and entertainment (and LOTS of treats) throughout downtown Skyway. From our epic block party to the terrifying haunted house hosted by The Tool Doctor in the abandoned Skyway Mart, we loved seeing y’all having fun in your amazing costumes.
Skyway’s biggest Halloween event is Saturday, October 26 from 1-5 p.m. Start your Halloween Takeover journey in the lot across from Skyway Library and get your map to navigate two blocks of fun along Renton Avenue South! We’ll be out there rain or shine, so be ready in case there are a few showers.
Our Halloween Takeover may have been Skyway’s BIGGEST EVENT EVER. Across two blocks of downtown Skyway, upwards of 1,000 guests enjoyed a block party, multiple activity zones and TWENTY storefront Treat Trail stops.
After a couple years of pivoting to virtual everything, we finally busted through the screens and celebrated the return of our annual traditions in 2022.

2021 was a year of getting things done in the face of great challenges. It was a year full of big wins on the path to collaboratively building a more equitable, informed, engaged, and vibrant Skyway-West Hill community. Here’s a recap of some of the things we got to do this year, with your support.
WHEW, it’s been a YEAR. We’ve been super busy, and we’re glad to have been able to enjoy all the fun events and fight all the hard battles right alongside you, neighbor. We put together this roundup for you to chronologically lay out just what 2019 looked like for your all-volunteer nonprofit West Hill Community Association (WHCA).
On Monday, October 28th, 2019, we took over the Lucky Dragonz event space at Skyway Park Bowl and turned it into the wildest Halloween Party around for over FOUR HUNDRED AWESOME NEIGHBORS.
