The Laurelhurst Haunted House is a charity-based attraction built and produced by Jim Thorpe and his team at Summit Capital Partners. The 3-day event was a huge success and attracted a record-breaking number of people with over 5,000 attendees throughout the Seattle area. With the goal of promoting community involvement, attendees were encouraged to donate $1.00 or one canned good in lieu of an admission free. Thorpe pledged to match all donations, totaling a final contribution of $12,000 to Northwest Harvest. In addition to their monetary contribution, the event collected 1,000 pounds of food to be distributed throughout local food banks. 

This marks the third consecutive year Summit Capital has partnered with Northwest Harvest to fight food insufficiency in Washington State. Thorpe and his team were responsible for building and operating the haunted attraction and were thrilled with the attendee’s feedback. 

“I highly recommend visiting this house, and if you missed it, my guess is Jim will come at it guns blazing next year! All they ask for is donations of food and cash to help support the. The wonderful charity this amazing company is doing. Thank you, Jim and Summit Capital for one of the most memorable Halloweens I ever had”. Shai P

Thorpe is grateful for the community’s support and looks forward to another successful event next year. “This production would not be possible without my amazing staff or the generosity of our attendees,” said Thorpe. “I want to express my gratitude to everyone that attended the Laurelhurst Haunted House and supported our mission, we look forward to returning next year”.
