POSTS STORIES REELS

Better late than never, right?

On August 9th, 2026, HondafestNW returned to Pacific Raceways in Kent, WA. NWMotiv has been putting on the event for over 10 years now, and somehow, each year, it never gets old. There’s always something memorable about the event, and it constantly reminds us just how special our automotive community is, especially the Acura and Honda community.

This year was no different….

Turns out a parking lot full of cars makes a pretty good donation bin. 🚗👕

More from yesterday at @soleseattle in Alderwood, where @nwmotiv and @motion_r_2000 ran a clothing drive for @washingtonkidsintransition

A few of us from @millcreekcarsandcoffee pulled in and we loved seeing the donations pour in all morning.

No flashy giveaway, no gimmick. Just neighbors showing up because it mattered.

Big thanks to Sole Seattle, NWMotiv, and Motion R for making it easy to do something good on a Saturday.

Tag someone who needs to see cars and community pulling in the same direction. 👇

Shout out to everyone who came out today to support kids in need! We appreciate everyone who brought a donation or came out to support the event!

You guys continue to prove why we’re all so grateful to be a part of this community.

Thank you so @soleseattle for opening your space and thank you to the @motion_r_2000 crew for partnering with us.

With all of the donations we received today, @washingtonkidsintransition will be able to help many kids! by @nwmotiv

Cars and coffee wasn’t the only thing on the menu today.
Right after @millcreekcarsandcoffee wrapped, we rolled over to @soleseattle in Alderwood.
@nwmotiv and @motion_r_2000 teamed up with them for a clothing drive benefiting @washingtonkidsintransition

Car guys showing up for kids who need a fresh start, that’s what community actually looks like.

Grab a new hoodie from a nearby retailer and swing by before one o’clock.

If you’re attending, post up a pic of your ride in the comments.

More information about Washington Kids in Transition
———
More than 1,200 children in our community are identified as experiencing homelessness under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. These students may be living in shelters, tents, vehicles, transitional housing, or other temporary situations. For many, the end of the school day brings uncertainty about when they will eat again, whether they have appropriate clothing, or where they will safely sleep that night.

What began as a grassroots effort has grown into a community-wide mission. Through partnerships with local organizations and collaboration with licensed school social workers, Washington Kids is able to respond quickly and directly to urgent needs affecting students and their families. by @nwmotiv

Had to bring a Fujifilm disposable with me to Hondafest. Sick event as always 🤙🏼 @nwmotiv

- first time attending this year’s @hondafestnw , did not disappoint ! see you next year. by @nwmotiv

HONDAFEST NW 2026: This was my first time attending this event, and I’ve never really managed to go before. It usually falls after Wekfest, and usually still recovering around that time of year. LOL! I finally got the chance to meet @vinnienguyen and @kswork last year when they took a quick vacation to Vancouver to explore local coffee shops and restaurants. It felt like a sign to attend Honda Fest this year, to show my support and finally experience it myself. It didn’t disappoint! This is definitely the type of event to notice how tight-knit the car community is in Seattle, and I wish the same could be said for the local community. Big shoutout to @hondafestnw @nwmotiv @vinnienguyen @theplacetorace for putting together such a cool event. Thank you! by @nwmotiv

HondafestNW was such a success yesterday thanks to you all! We’re still buzzing from all of the smiles, laughs, and conversations. It was a good day.

This year was especially special as the Mayor of Auburn, Nancy Backus came to check out HondafestNW. We’re happy that she was able to witness firsthand the awesome community we’ve all built. You guys are the best.

Thank you to all of our vendors who helped make the event special. Thank you to all of you and your continued support!

Finally, congratulations again to all of the winners who took home some hardware! 🔥
