In late February 2013, the Pacific Northwest had its first automotive event season opener, thanks to our friends at ImportMeet, and local restaurant XXX Rootbeer. With the help of Facebook and word of mouth, the event quickly went viral as more than 1,500 cars showed up throughout the day.
Thankfully, the weather held out for the majority of the day, and local law enforcement were present during the event to help regulate traffic and drivers while local car enthusiasts also volunteered to help.
Despite the more-than-expected attendance, the meet went very smoothly as local business parking lots and street curbs filled up with cars ranging anywhere from Hondas and Nissans, to VW’s and BMW’s.
Other local automotive businesses and clubs showed up with booths during the day, as the crowds explored what the automotive scene has to offer for 2013. Oh, and let’s not forget about the XXX burgers – one of the biggest reasons worth attending!
