For all of you who needed the reminder the Puyallup Fair started today. There was the opening kick off parade down Meridian today. The Tacoma News Tribune has a blog post that has some great photos. You can visit the blog here. I was not able to get out of the office to see the festivities I will say however, that traffic in front of our office is up by a huge percentage.
The text below is copied directly from the Puyallup Fair Website. I find the stats to be interesting.
The Puyallup Fair (officially known as the Western Washington Fair) is the largest single attraction held annually in the state of Washington. The Fair continually ranks in the top ten largest fairs in the world. The Western Washington Fair Association hosts two annual events, the 17-day Puyallup Fair every September, and the four-day Puyallup Spring Fair every April.
Situated south of Seattle and east of Tacoma in the shadow of majestic Mount Rainier, the Fair & Events Center comprises 169+ acres, with buildings and land valued at more than $54 million. The facilities are available for rent during the year, making the grounds a valuable community resource. A staff of 55 works year-round. Over 1,900+ employees are hired each September during the Puyallup Fair.
Make sure if you're in the area to visit the Puyallup fair. Also please stop by my office at 107 W. Stewart and say hello. Remember real estate agents love scones =)
CYA at the FAIR!
Best,
Scott
