About this event

The Washington State Model Railroad Show & Marketplace is hosted every year by the United NorthWest Model Railroad Club at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, Washington, north-east of Seattle. The organizer describes it as the largest all-scale model railroad show on the West Coast.

Visitors can see detailed model railroad layouts and displays, and a marketplace sells items in G, O, S, HO, N and Z scale, and even 7-1/2 inch gauge live-steam operating trains. The organizer's page also lists clinics, held in the 4-H building.

The organizer says proceeds benefit youth organizations, and that the event has supported youth development programs over about thirty years.
