Halloween Costume Shops in and Around Bellevue, Washington

Witches, fairy princesses and goblins - Halloween is almost upon us. As Halloween is one of the most celebrated holidays of the year, finding the perfect costume shop is essential to ensuring you and your children are dressed to spook, humor and delight your fellow Halloween party goers. I've gone out and about to locate local costume shops around my area. Here are a few of the best I found in and around Bellevue, Washington:

A Masquerade Costume - 13310 Bel-Red Road, Suite 102 Bellevue, WA
This store offers everything you need in one location to get your "spook" on. From vintage costumes to hard-to-find specialty items, A Masquerade Costume will help you and yours find the perfect outfit for the evening. You can opt to purchase or rent your costume for the evening as well. An added bonus to this store is its on-site experienced make-up artists available by appointment to help transform you into your perfect Halloween fantasy. They are also adept in helping track down hard to find items. Store hours are Monday through Friday from 11 am to 6:30 pm, open an extra half hour Thursday evenings and Saturdays from 12 pm to 5 pm. They are closed on Sundays.

Party @ Display & Costume - 975 NW Gilman Blvd. Suite A Issaquah, WA
If you're looking for something a bit more on the economic side, Party @ Display & Costume in Issaquah is a good bet. Their assortment of costumes ranges from infant sizes on up to plus sized adult costumes in a wide range of popular themes. I'm hoping to open my door this year to seeing a little one dressed up as Optimus Prime - a sure favorite this year. This store also has an assortment of rental items if you are planning on having your Halloween party at home and require lighting, columns, archways and more. Store hours are Monday through Friday from 9 am to 8 pm, Saturdays from 9:30 am to 6 pm and Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm.

Whether you're looking to be a bit goth, a pirate lass or Harry Potter this year for Halloween, Pacific NW Costume has got you covered! Another interesting part of this store is its medieval garb. Be sure to check it out! This shop has a great clearance section, a large assortment of accessories and its staff is ready and waiting to help you find your perfect Halloween costume.
