USS Turner Joy, now a museum on the Bremerton waterfront, is open beginning at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 29-31 for its annual haunted ship tours. Admission is $5. Click here to see a PDF with more details.

• At Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, you have a series of events to choose from: a celebration at the Chief's Club on Oct. 30, a free showing of the Rocky Horror Picture Show at 9 p.m. on Oct. 31, the Halloween Spooktacular at Gallery Golf Course, and trick-or-treating plus free bowling for kids 14 and under in costume at Convergence Zone from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 31.

For those who live closer to Tacoma or are willing to venture farther, the annual Fort Lewis Theatrical Nightmare is open Oct. 30-31 at Fort Lewis' Shoreline Park. Admission is $5 for children under 12 and $6 for ages 12 and up. Read more about it in the Northwest Guardian.
Fort Lewis' MWR department also hosts a Harvest Festival from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Halloween. See PDF for more details.
 
Update:
The Seabees at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor also have an annual haunted house on base. It's at the CBMU 303 building on Thresher Avenue from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. through Halloween night. The first hour is geared toward younger children, so it's not as scary. Tickets are $5 for ages 13 and up, $3 for ages 6-12 and free for ages 5 and under.
