On October 31, 2026, a Halloween-themed paddle gathering took place on the beach north of Seacrest in Elliott Bay. The event, organized by Maari Falsetto of Inner Alchemy, saw more than 40 participants paddling in costume, many dressed as witches, wizards and warlocks.

The gathering marked the fifth annual edition of the West Seattle Halloween celebration, a tradition that has been held each year for the past five years.
