UP NEXT for us is @nwsubarufest on Sunday, August 9! This is one of the few ALL Subaru event`s in the NW and our third year hosting. The big change this year is our venue swap to @lemaycollectionsmarymount in Tacoma. There is some confusion as to which LeMay this is - to be clear it is NOT the one near the Tacoma Dome. It`s a grass venue located at the estate and one of the most beautiful places to hold a car show in WA. Get tickets now using the link in our bio.
