About Cardfest NW

Bringing the Pacific Northwest trading card community together — one show at a time.

Building Community Through Cards

Building Community Through Cards

Cardfest NW was founded with a simple belief: the best part of collecting cards isn’t what’s in your binder - it’s the people you meet along the way.

What started as a single show in the Pacific Northwest has grown into a monthly circuit spanning three cities - Lynnwood, Bellevue, and Everett. Each month we bring together over 100 vendors and 1,000+ attendees who share a passion for trading cards of every kind.

From vintage baseball cards to the latest Pokémon sets, from graded slabs to bulk commons, our shows welcome everyone - seasoned dealers, new collectors, curious parents, and wide-eyed kids pulling their first pack.
