Officially Fall - Spirit of Halloween in Ballinger Village

Now I know it's fall. The first Spirit of Halloween store has popped up in the neighborhood.

I've never been in one but will have to check them out this year. They appear every September, in stores that have been sitting vacant. They sell Halloween costumes and goods and after the end of October, they disappear.

This one is in the old Rite Aid store in Ballinger Village, 20330 Ballinger Way NE, Shoreline 98155. Rite Aid closed in August 2025. (see previous article)
