I wanted to know from some of my fellow Western Washingtoners on the board if there are any good shows in the area of Tacoma/Seattle.
Any help is welcome,
Thanks.

Also one in Tacoma some antique mall show, it consists of 8 guys sitting in the back room of an antique mall talking with little to know customers and 80s/90s commons for the most part. I wouldn't waste your time

I went to the one in shorline this past weekend at Meridian Park School. It was ok. There seemed to be about 20-30 different tables and I found a couple deals as well as some new Posada commons from 2011 products I needed. It was definitely worth the trip for me. I'm on some kind of mailing list and every once in a while a get a notification about a show there or in Mill Creek. I don't really remember how I initially got on it though :lol:
I've never heard of a show in Bellevue. When does it come around?

Great to know ::facepalm::tide12champrings said:Shows in that area suck.
cvn66 said:As previous posters have said, the dealers at the regular shows are almost always the same, so if you are looking for older stuff (i.e. anything more than 2 years old), their inventories get pretty stale. There used to be a great show at the Tacoma Dome a couple of times a year, but that is no more. The best show out here these days is the WSSCA show (happens 2x a year in June and November at the Meridian Park School in Shoreline) - especially if you are looking for vintage stuff. Even then, the dealers tend to be the same year after year, but since you don't see them as often, it isn't that bad.
I find that I am spending way more time finding what I need on various sites on the internet or traveling to a larger show somewhere outside the region.
