How the week runs
Puget Sound splits its meets across both weekend mornings. On Saturday, Snohomish gathers from 8am to 10am east of Kohl’s on Bickford Avenue, weather permitting. On the first Saturday of the month Griot’s Garage opens its Tacoma store from 8am for Caffeine and Gasoline, and once a month, on a Saturday that moves, Tacoma Cars and Coffee fills LeMay, America’s Car Museum, from 9am to 11am. On Sunday, Lake Washington Cars and Coffee meets at Madrona Park from 10am to noon.
The season
Rain sets the calendar here. Exotics at Redmond Town Center, the area’s best-known Saturday show, runs April to October and only when the chance of rain is 30% or less; its 2026 season ended on 3 October and the 2027 date is not out yet. Snohomish runs weather permitting. Griot’s and the Tacoma meet at LeMay publish winter dates, so they are the safe bets from November to March.
What is held back, and why
Porsche Bellevue’s Cars and Coffee ran on Sundays from April to August, and its dealer page could not be read to confirm 2027 dates. Shoreline Cars and Coffee lists Saturday mornings on Westminster Way, but its organizer has not posted since 2023. Puget Sound Coffee and Classics in Edmonds, Everett Cars and Coffee, Frosted Frames in Puyallup and Rigs and Coffee in SoDo appear only in directories so far. Issaquah Cars and Coffee and Seattle Cars and Coffee in Tukwila show no recent activity from their organizers. Each joins this page once its organizer confirms a schedule.
Before you drive
Exotics at Redmond Town Center has written criteria for show cars and a gatekeeper with the final say; spectators are always welcome. Tacoma Cars and Coffee opens its gate at 9am and allows no early entrance. Everywhere, the lot belongs to a museum, a store, a mall or the city, and the rule that keeps the meet alive is the same: no revving, no burnouts, leave slowly.
Is there cars and coffee in Seattle in winter?
Yes. Griot’s Garage lists a Caffeine and Gasoline date every month through May 2027, Tacoma Cars and Coffee lists 28 November and 19 December, and Lake Washington Cars and Coffee lists every Sunday with no pause announced.
When does Exotics at Redmond Town Center start again?
The organizer has not published the 2027 date. The show runs Saturdays from April to October, and opened on 4 April in 2026.
Where is cars and coffee on Sunday in Seattle?
Lake Washington Cars and Coffee, at Madrona Park, 853 Lake Washington Boulevard, from 10am to noon, per its organizer.
