Edmonds Classic Car Show

My 3^rd year going, and every year it gets better and better. This year was fantastic, taking up much more of downtown Edmonds than in previous years, and really focused on classic cars (and a few motorcycles) in all states of restoration, which is a vast improvement over previous years that had a large showing of «project» cars that may have started with a classic frame, but morphed into something completely unique (not that I don’t like those, but «time and place»).
Another great improvement this year was the minimizing of the new car displays, keeping them contained to just the southwest back streets and out of the way of the real show.
Just about every restaurant was open early, packed, and really bringing their A game insofar as energy and grub. Great to see that with the exception of a few stations on the fringe of the event, food was left to the establishments and not to tents/​stands.
Along with the great showing of hundreds of cars, the the entertainment was engaging as well, with lots of classic music blasting from the rooftops, live classic rock star impersonators, live radio broads, etc.
But possibly the best part of this festival is that the car owners are there, showing off their pride and joy, and über-​happy to engage you in conversation about the car, the restoration, or anything else you want to chat about.
An overall excellent yearly community event.
