Rev Up for Summer: Epic Local Car Shows in the Puget Sound Area from Now Through Labor Day 2026
At Kobe’s Legal PLLC, we love being part of the vibrant communities we serve across the South Sound and greater Seattle area. Whether you’re a die-hard gearhead, a weekend cruiser, or just looking for a fun family outing, the car show season is one of the best parts of living in Washington. From classic hot rods to custom builds and everything in between, there’s no shortage of chrome and horsepower on display this year.
We’re especially excited to announce that our team will be out in force at three of the biggest local events — showing off our stunning 1966 Chevelle SS convertible. Stop by our booth to say hello, admire the Chevelle, and take advantage of some great giveaways, including a $2,000 gift card to Les Schwab/gift basket, dash cameras, and plenty of swag! Be sure to follow our Instagram account, where we will be doing the giveaway drawing live!
