Funny Halloween Costume Ideas for Topical Seattleites
If you're the kind of Seattleite who'd rather shop for a costume in your closet than at Spirit Halloween, well, we have some ideas for you.
Retired Megan Rapinoe
The biggest crowd in OL Reign history turned out to watch beloved Seattle superstar Megan Rapinoe's last game. She taught us to speak our minds and to fail (on the rare occasion she did) with dignity. Now she gives us an easy Halloween costume.
What You Need: Megan Rapinoe Jersey, Lei, Flip-Flops, straw sticking out of a coconut
The Frasier Reboot
Seattle's favorite radio therapist is back on the airwaves. Well, sort of. Frasier is back on streaming this time, and he's abandoned his Seattle apartment with the very unrealistic view for a return to Boston.
What You Need: Bald Cap (Receding Hairline cap?), Boston Red Sox Gear, Absence of David Hyde Pierce and Jane Leeves
Dambo Troll
This one might take some skill. Danish artist Thomas Dambo's massive troll sculptures, made from scrap wood, have been a sensation around the world. But they seem to fit especially well here, where they've become perfect Instagram fodder among the trees.
What You Need: Exquisite Crafting Skills, Lots of Wood chips
Green Jacket Lady
This anonymous Seattleite won our hearts when she viciously mocked a fear-mongering Fox News reporter in what became a viral clip. Hell, she's already leading in (satirical) mayoral polls.
What You Need: Green Jacket, Withering Sarcasm
A Boy in a Boat
George Clooney's highly anticipated adaptation of the bestseller from Daniel James Brown about the UW crew team in the 1936 Olympics comes out this fall. We haven't seen The Boys in the Boat yet, but there's sure to be a lot of hype. This costume could go any number of ways.
What you need: A boat, obviously, Or at the very least an oar
