gun shows in washington?

[Seattle206]

where are the gun shows in washington? i live in seattle, so I dont want to venture out TOO far. I know their are some at the puyallup fair grounds, but you need to be a member to purchase. any other shows that go on?

Washington Arms Collectors (WAC) runs the two big ones around Seattle. Puyallup and Monroe are the locations. Membership is required to purchase.

If there are others, I am unaware of them.

In addendum to PaulBK's post, you have to pay to get into the show, but if you purchase your membership, the entry fee is credited towards membership. All shows held by WAC are free entry to members. You must also be a member to sell, in addition to purchase firearms.

There is also one in Chehalis but I've never been to it. Pick up a Little Nickle. They are usually posted in there.

I filled out the application with WAC and never heard anything back. :upeyes:

[Slugger]

Was this application online? I've never heard of that. Just go to any WAC show and look for the membership table. They'll process you and get you a membership badge that day.
