New Year swap meets held in the PNW attract­ed a lot of atten­dees. Feb­ru­ary saw the Pacif­ic Race­ways 6th Annu­al All Motor­sports throw the prover­bial dice against Moth­er Nature and won — sort of. The event did get some light rain, but it was­n’t enough to quell the spir­its of eager parts hunters. Then, in March the Ear­ly Bird and Almost Spring Swap Meets took place at the Wash­ing­ton State Fair­grounds in Puyallup, WA prov­ing that the col­lec­tor car hob­by is alive & well. Held two weeks apart, both events pulled in plen­ty of hap­py parts buyers. 

We were there for both meets and in our usu­al booth. We had a great time sell­ing Yel­low Books and talk­ing with swap meet atten­dees. So much so, that we are now begin­ning to run low on stock. It seemed that every per­son we spoke with was in a good mood and had to have a 2025 NW Car Events Cal­en­dar — some folks even bought two!        
        

Corrections & Updates

While the NW Car Events Cal­en­dar admit­ted­ly has a long clos­ing date for the fol­low­ing year, we do actu­al­ly strive to sup­ply as much time­ly and accu­rate infor­ma­tion as pos­si­ble and deliv­er it in a handy, glove box size book. But there are sit­u­a­tions where an event list­ing for the fol­low­ing year does not make our late Octo­ber dead­line, or there is a venue change, date change, and some­times even a cancellation.

Our New & Updat­ed List­ings page (to the right of the screen) is a print­able pdf file. We sug­gest you print it out, fold it in half and place it in your Yel­low Book. That way, the lat­est info will always be at hand and in one loca­tion. Mean­while, to show you what info the updates con­tain, here’s a cou­ple of recent ones:

Overlapping Swap Meets in April.

Two huge swap meets come to Port­land, OR every year at the begin­ning of April. Start­ing on April 3 and run­ning through the April is the Port­land Inter­na­tion­al Race­way Swap Meet.  This is pos­si­bly the most unique swap meet in the PNW with over three miles of booths post­ed around the race­track, sell­ing every­thing from Mod­el T parts to the infa­mous two-by-four-by-sider with a three-posi­tion switch!
Right next door at the Port­land Expo Cen­ter, the gigan­tic Port­land Swap Meet kicks off just a day lat­er on April 4th and runs through the 6th. This event is going into its 59th year this April and is most prob­a­bly the largest swap meet on the west coast, tak­ing up the entire Expo Cen­ter. This place is HUGE! How huge, you ask? Well, let’s just say you could prob­a­bly park an air­craft car­ri­er and a cou­ple of light cruis­ers inside, with room left over for a dozen city bus­es.  Here is the best part: every square foot of the Expo Cen­ter is packed with car parts, acces­sories, and wid­gets of every descrip­tion. We’ll be there, too, but we won’t be sell­ing wid­gets. Instead, we’ll have plen­ty of 2025 edi­tion Yel­low Books on hand. Look for us in Hall D, booth 3300. Our 10-foot-long NW Car Events Cal­en­dar sign will be high above our booth!
