Where to take kids who love cars

When my older son was born, we lived in a condo overlooking Highway 99. The worse the gridlock, the better for examining all the cars outside our window. It’s no wonder he has loved anything on wheels since birth.

The great thing about having a passion for cars is that you have a lot of company. Almost every community hosts its own car celebration. For awesome family activities around Seattle, check out our hand-picked, kid-tested list of local car attractions, plus a list of upcoming car shows and touch-a-truck events around Seattle. Lots of kids and dads (and even many moms!) will love these road-tested outings for auto enthusiasts.

First stop: LeMay — America’s Car Museum
