🏍️ GMRW This Week in Washington

August 16–23, 2026

Washington's summer motorcycle season keeps rolling with another full week of rides, bike nights, rallies, memorial events, poker runs, swap meets and motorcycle gatherings happening across the state.

The week starts with the Danny Rowland Memorial Ride from Sound Harley-Davidson in Marysville, the Relay for Life Car & Motorcycle Show at Tulalip Amphitheatre, and a free Motorcycle Safety Workshop in Puyallup. Weeknight bike nights then carry the calendar through Yakima, Ellensburg, Orting, Seattle, Lakewood, Spokane Valley and Oak Harbor.
Friday brings two major weekend events. The 10th Annual Dream Roll Women's Moto Weekend gets underway in Shelton, while the Tenino Vintage Motorcycle Swap Meet opens in Tenino. Riders can also find Friday gatherings in Spokane, Arlington and Longview.

Saturday is once again the centerpiece of the week, with memorial rides, charity rides, poker runs and motorcycle events happening from Marysville and Kent to Ephrata, Spokane, Sumner and Union Gap. The 8th Annual Riders Remembered Memorial begins at The Lucky 13 Saloon in Marysville, while East Meets West Bikefest takes over the Pendleton Convention Center for the weekend.

Whether you're looking for a local bike night, a weekend motorcycle event, a memorial ride, a poker run or simply somewhere to point the bike, here's what's happening around Washington this week.
