The hundreds of people coming from BC, Idaho, Montana, eastern Washington, and Oregon will be going to some other park in some other city with more capacity.

Never fear, you will have your streets back and several thousands of dollars less for your Ballard businesses.

There were several Seattle police officers patrolling the park during the meet, writing fix-it-tickets and towing improperly parked vehicles.

Instead of complaining perhaps you could work constructively with the car groups to positively voice your concerns and work towards a mutually beneficial compromise?

Keep in mind that many of the guys (and girls) that fix up these cars devote their lives to this hobby which is way better than wasting their paychecks and braincells on drugs and other criminal activities.

Car hobbies are a great way to keep kids off drugs and away from crime so be thankful they are just making some noise, slowing traffic, and fouling up parking and not selling your kids weed, knocking up your daughters, or vandalizing your property.

Peace.

give your head a shake, maybe next time these guys should just go street race instead of a nice quiet picknic

Im 32 have a house and a family. I make a good amount working in sales. Guess I'm not grown up yet.

Ill be sure to let my GPS know to not go through quiet neighborhoods. Or did you not want me to go by the Fred Meyer to spend my cash? Or the intersections without pedestrians?

This meet has people from cali to canida coming to it, do you really expect everything to go perfect?

No harm, no foul.

Just people and cars.

Dont get your undies tied up in a bunch.

Thanks for the publicity.
Enjoy the sunshine.

please do not “hate” or “dislike” our hondas as we respect all hot rods and older muscle cars. Yes our cars are loud, but thats considered “JDM”

I will agree that the parking situation was a huge mess but what does that have to do with the use of a public park by auto enthusiasts? This is a public venue and open for anyone to use. Who are some of you to say that is shouldn't be allowed and the police should be called? And as for revenue… how about the $40-$60 dollar tickets handed out to those people who chose not to obey the parking laws? That should keep your streets swept for the next few years.

Did anyone notice the traffic jam on I5 Northbound due to contruction? You complainers should call DOT and inform them that it inconvenienced people and they should have done it on your schedule.

The meet was great, the people were great, my 18 month old daughter loved all of the “vroom, vrooms”, and the traffic and parking sucked.

1. Every one that was there pays taxes on that park just like you do. Some more and some less but we all have the right to use that park.

2. Some people say the park was not being used for what it is ment for. Why do you think that spot was chosen? Its BEAUTIFUL there. No matter who you are or why you are there I think we can all appreciate how nice of an area it is. The parking spots were parked in, the scenery was enjoyed and people had a good time. Isnt that what a park is for?

3. All the cars, loud exhaust, stereos etc. are ruining the park. Common, it was ONE afternoon. The honda meet was from about 1PM to 5PM and im sure the Nissan meet was about the same. I dont really see how the park is being ruined by people gathering for 5 hours…….once a year.

4. To all the people that want to poke fun at the cars/people I hope you feel really big. We dont sit around and have pointless little internet discussions bashing your hobbies, recreations and passions.

For alot of us cars bring us together to form friendships and give people a creative outlet. Everyones cars whether they are hot rods or import cars are their canvas to express them selves. You may not like the “art” but should have at least some respect for it. People ended up coming from WA, OR, ID, CA, MT and B.C. for some thing that lasted a couple hours and personally I find that impressive.

Sure there are a few bad eggs but you get that any time you get a bunch of people in one spot from the bicyclist that doesnt think laws apply to him to the guy at the dog park that doesnt clean up after his dog.

I guess what I want to say was most of just wanted to meet up and look at neat cars. Sorry if this inconvenienced people but if being stuck in traffic for a few minutes and not being able to go to the beach for one afternoon is the worst thing going on in your life……feel lucky.
