Earlier this month we wrote about Spirit Halloween opening soon in the old Shopko (and At Home) building at 2530 Rudkin Rd in Union Gap (right next to Burlington and Dick’s Sporting Goods). Well, the time has come, and the unofficial Halloween Headquarters in the Yakima Valley is finally open, and we have photos!
