Cardfest Northwest returns to the Lynnwood Event Center on Saturday, July 18, 2026 for the summer edition of one of the Puget Sound region's fastest-growing recurring card shows. Held roughly twenty minutes north of downtown Seattle, Cardfest Northwest has built a reputation as a fresh, high-energy show where Pacific Northwest collectors connect, discover, and trade everything from Pokémon and One Piece to vintage sports cards — all under one roof. The July show pulls collectors from Seattle, Lynnwood, Everett, Edmonds, Bothell, Mill Creek, Mukilteo, and across Snohomish and King counties.
The vendor floor offers a deliberately broad mix. Sports card dealers stock MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, UFC, boxing, and soccer inventory across every era — vintage Topps, Bowman, Fleer, and Goudey from the 1950s through the 1980s, junk-wax 1990s staples, and modern Panini Prizm, Donruss Optic, Select, Topps Chrome, and Bowman Draft. Seattle Mariners, Seattle Seahawks, Seattle Kraken, Seattle Sounders, Seattle Storm, Washington Huskies, and Gonzaga inventory runs deep, with supplementary product on the Portland Trail Blazers and Oregon Ducks. TCG tables run heavy on Pokémon singles and sealed from vintage WOTC Base Set through modern Scarlet & Violet hits and Japanese exclusives, plus Magic: The Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh!, One Piece TCG, Disney Lorcana, Dragon Ball Z Fusion World, Digimon, Star Wars Unlimited, and Flesh and Blood. Locked cases display PSA, BGS, SGC, and CGC graded slabs, alongside autographed memorabilia, comics, Funko Pops, and hobby supplies.
Show hours run 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM PDT. General admission runs about $5 at the door, and kids 12 and under enter free with a paying adult, making this an easy day out for families. Door prizes, raffles, and pack giveaways are distributed throughout the day while supplies last, and the show's community-first vibe means plenty of casual trading happens floor-side between tables.
The Lynnwood Event Center is located at 3711 196th Street SW, Lynnwood, WA 98036, directly off I-5 at Exit 181 and a short walk from the Lynnwood City Center Link Light Rail station. The venue is climate-controlled, ADA-accessible, and laid out on a single level with wide aisles. Free on-site parking is a genuine perk given Seattle-area parking costs, and downtown Lynnwood restaurants plus the Alderwood Mall sit minutes away.
This show fits every collector type. Serious buyers arrive at the 10:00 AM door to cherry-pick vintage and high-end modern early. Flippers and breakers restock binders, swap case-break hits, and live-stream from the floor. Families love the free child admission and the broad inventory mix. Competitive Pokémon, Magic, One Piece, and Lorcana players scout singles for upcoming League Cups, Store Championships, and Regional events across Washington and Oregon.
For the best experience, arrive right at the 10:00 AM opening, bring cash plus Venmo and Zelle backups, and carry a detailed want list sorted by sport or TCG title. Pack penny sleeves, top loaders, and a sturdy carrying box, and save the final hour for negotiation.
