DO | The Issaquah Zombie Walk

Someone should really airdrop copies of Max Brooks’ Zombie Survival Guide into Issaquah — the poor city has been overrun by the undead for years.

The Issaquah Zombie Walk, first organized by Tom Gotuzzo in 2009, will infect downtown Front Street just two short weeks before Halloween. But the intended effect is less George Romero than John Landis: The walk will culminate in a flash mob recreation of the music video to Michael Jackson’s Thriller outside City Hall. The organizers will have free basic makeup, or you can plunk down $10 for the hard stuff: in this case, “ultra zombie” makeup from Illusions by Melanie.

Where: The historic Shell Station, 232 Front Street, Issaquah, WA 98027. The event will move to City Hall on Sunset for the dance.

When: Oct. 18. Prep from 2:30-4:30 p.m., Flash mob 4:30-5 p.m.
