This Week in Washington | October 4–11, 2026

October is here, but Washington's motorcycle calendar hasn't shut down yet.

The week gets underway Sunday with the Best in Pink Bike Show / Wigged Out Ride at Northwest Harley-Davidson in Lacey and an end-of-season bike wash in Lake Stevens. From there, several of the familiar weekly bike nights and meetups keep riders moving through Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Saturday is the big day this week, with events stretching from Marysville to Richland. Freewheeling Riders meet at The Creamery Co., Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association hosts Honor the Fallen in Richland, the Family First Poker Run rolls out of Enumclaw, Bike Day at the Mill continues in Milton, and Riders Remembered Memorial Park and ABATE of Washington Sky Valley Chapter get together for their Spam Cookoff in Granite Falls.

The riding season may be winding down, but the Washington motorcycle community clearly isn't finished yet. As we move deeper into fall, GMRW will continue tracking the rides, benefits, memorials, bike nights and other motorcycle gatherings happening around the state.
