The Experience – With Mt. Rainier as a backdrop, this six-day event at the Enumclaw Fairgrounds boasts all the requisite county fair elements, from livestock and preserves to concerts and rides. Its real charm lies in the old-fashioned attractions, such as serial melodramas, written especially for the fair. Rodeos on Friday and Saturday nights draw bronco-lovin' crowds. Logging shows on Saturday and Sunday pack 'em in, too. The grassy fairgrounds offer welcome respite from the heat. – – Facts – If you're going for the logging shows, grab a seat well in advance.…
Editor's Tips
- Know Before You Go:
- The first King County Fair took place in what is now Georgetown. That was 26 years before Washington was even a state--and before Lincoln was in office.
- The Extras:
- Past fair melodramas have included "Trouble in Thunder Mountain" and "The Lone Stranger."
- When to Go:
- Weekends and evenings are rush time, but the whole operation is in full swing at 10am each day--prime time to have the place to your self.
