We had just about 200 cars there a couple weeks ago, it took up the parking lot at xxx, then across the street, & starting parking on the street.

The address is : 98 NE Gilman Blvd, Issaquah
Depends on where on I-5 you're coming. From I-5 in Seattle, take I-90 Eastbound, past I-405. Take the Front Street exit off of I-90 (Exit 17). Take a right at the bottom of the ramp, onto Front Street. Take the first left onto Gilman. The XXX is about 25 yards on your left.
Mapquest leads you on a bit of a roundabout way for some odd reason.
If you're coming from further North on I-5, you'd usually come down I-405 to I-90 eastbound. But that weekend I-405 southbound will be closed in Bellevue. Big traffice delays.

Anyone coming in from the north may want to consider Hwy 202 out of Redmond.
Pick up Hwy 202 AKA Redmond Fall City Rd towards Fall City.
Take a right onto 292n Ave, AKA SE Duthie Hill Rd. Follow all the way up, over and down hill, Turns into SE Issaquah - Fall City Rd. stay straight and follow road on down hill. No turns till.....
At bottom of hill turn left on to E-Lake Sammamish Pkwy SE.
Go under I90 and turn left on NE Gilman Blvd.
XXX is 1/2 block down on left.

What time does the show end? If we enter the show do we have to stay till the end? I'm trying to figure out if I should bring my three kids or not. They get bored after about 5 minutes.

Once upon a time we knew another great guy from DuPont...land of several Starbucks...but he fell off the face of the earth.
You've got some other great folks down your way...e.g. fperra,...but please be very careful....we've lost one already....might be something in the water.

I am coming all the way from Spokane just for this show........hope I get there early enough to "get a parking spot".......that would really be the pits to drive that far and be stuck in a corner somewhere down the block!! See you all there though --- my wife and I are really looking forward to this..........We are staying nearby at a hotel the night before...probably not going to get much sleep keeping an eye on the car!!!

New C3 owner and car show newbie. Looking forward to this show if I can get the day off from work.
Been going to car shows as a spectator pretty much my whole adult life but just recently began showing my own car.

Ok, I know this might sounds wierd, but I plan on going, and can't figure out why I'd show my car. It's just a practically stock 05' coupe. If they needed more cars, I'd be happy to show it. My only logic for showing it would be to sit among the masses. How long is the show for?

You know with my vette since its just a plain jane 90 vert We dont show them much but to bring in cars, but this event I am bringing my car, I know there will be other C4 Corvette verts there & I dont care. This will be a chance for me to show off MY Car, it will most likely be dirty in the engine Compartment but the hood will be up.
No matter what this is MY car & I am showing it off to other people. do the same with yours be proud of what you own.

Good News.....Highway 405 will not be closed Southbound the day of the XXX event. The DOT just announced they were done a week early!
BELLEVUE, Wash. —
The Washington State Department of Transportation says a project to widen heavily traveled I-405 in Bellevue has been completed a week ahead of schedule.
The Wilburton Tunnel was demolished in two weekends, not three as had been anticipated by the WSDOT.
