SEATTLE - So, you're walking down the street in Seattle, and you come across a pack of zombies. What do you do?

Give them a little space.

They're beckoning in Ballard, they're striking fear in Fremont, and they're causing a calamity on Capitol Hill.

Just keep in mind, you're safe if you steer clear of the three ways one becomes a zombie:

"The first one's by infection, like if they bite you," says Cleo Wolfus. "The second way is by voodoo."

The third, according to Wolfus, is by way of the Apocalypse. Wolfus, known today as Cleo "Zombie", is organizing the first ever Zombie Walk in Seattle.

"I like the idea of something that's very creative and free happening," Wolfus tells KOMO 1000 News.

October 15, the zombies will walk in Ballard, and on the 29th, they'll march...er...drag themselves through Fremont. Why?

Why not?

"Your limbs have to be really, really limp," the zombie woman says.

Wolfus says Zombie Walk is supposed to be fun by design, and she expects that some participants will really get into it.

"You don't smile, your eyes don't track, you have a blank stare," says Wolfus, who's spent this past week passing out cards and flyers advertising the random zombie events.

She passes a young guy in front of a coffee shop, and approaches him with a card.

"Hi, I was wondering if you knew about this Saturday's 'Zombie Walk?'

"Yes, I planning on doing it," replies the man, named Travis.

Everyone's invited. Just be in costume, and remember there are some rules.

"The number one rule is to not cause traffic accidents, and two, not to make a mess," Wolfus says.

And we're assured that no innocent bystanders will be maimed by the living dead.

"But I do like the classic scenario of someone who's 'volunteering' to be a victim, laying in the street, and people piling on them and pretending like they're eating them."
