The Monroe Show Returns for 2025!
Don't miss the 32nd Washington State Model Railroad Show & Marketplace (WSMRS&M), hosted by the United NorthWest Model Railroad Club on February 22 & 23, 2025 at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe, WA.
Whether you're a seasoned railroading enthusiast or just curious to learn more, this event welcomes visitors of all ages. Explore detailed model railroad layouts, unique displays, and a lively marketplace offering items in G, O, S, HO, N, Z-scale, and even 7-1/2" gauge live-steam operating trains. It's an engaging and memorable experience for families and hobbyists alike.
As the largest all-scale model railroad show on the West Coast, the WSMRS&M is dedicated to more than just showcasing the art of model railroading - it's about making a difference. Over the past 30 years, the event has raised nearly $350,000 to support youth development programs that empower children and strengthen families. This year, proceeds will benefit the Snohomish County 4-H Foundation, continuing this proud tradition of giving back.
