The Best Halloween Home Display Route, According to Portland's Favorite Pumpkin Carving Artist

Brook Rice, the artist behind the free Pumpkin Display at West Linn, is basically the Santa of Halloween. It would be more than enough to provide one of the coolest Halloween experiences in the Portland metro area at no cost, but Rice has also put together a Halloween home display route for families who make the trek out to the display in West Linn and want to make a night of it.

We share the route here, with permission, to spread the word about these fantastic displays. Rice’s QR code below will add the route to Google Maps, with a drive time of approximately 1.5 hours, not including stops. Rice estimates that the route will take most families around 3 hours to complete.

To create the route, Rice consulted the Northwest Haunters Association map and the Pacific Northwest Christmas Lights map. After choosing homes within a geographic area from both maps, Rice visited all the homes on the route in late September and early October and chose favorites based on impact, originality, handmade decorations, and the enthusiasm of the owner. Then Rice ran the route five to six times before finalizing it.

Thanks to all of Rice’s research, looking for Halloween home displays has never been easier.
