Designed for the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle, the Pacific Science Center offers hands-on experiences for the young and the young at heart. This weekend, bring your family down to the museum to explore different subjects through Live Demonstrations. This new program provides interactive learning to the Emerald City, with exciting shows about topics like animals, weather, bubbles, and combustion.
Featuring the most advanced internal combustion engine ever produced, we can’t think of a better vehicle to take to this event than the 2019 INFINITI QX50.
Take your science lesson on-the-go inside this innovative premium crossover. The newest QX50 is equipped with the world’s first production-ready VC engine. This 2.0-liter turbo motor simultaneously delivers 268 HP and 31 MPG on the highway, thanks to a multi-link system that can transform for any compression ratio (from 8:1 for performance to 14:1 for efficiency). The unit raises and lowers the pistons based on driver input and conditions, seamlessly selecting the most suitable rate on-demand.
Before heading down to the Pacific Science Center this weekend to learn about combustion, stop by our dealership to get a taste of just how far modern-day technology can really take us.Â

The Seattle Mariners are holding strong in their third place position in the American League West Division. Just seven games in to the 2018 season and we can’t help but hope that this will be the year our hometown team makes it to the World Series for the first time.
Don’t miss opening night at Safeco Field this Friday April, 13 as the Mariners take on the Oakland Athletics in what promises to be a nail-biting matchup. Head straight from the office to the ballpark in the all-new 2019 INFINITI QX50.
Mitch Haniger won’t be the only one hitting a home run this Friday. When you show up to opening night in the stylish 2019 QX50, you will become the honorary MVP of the game. Its sporty exterior will turn heads, while its aggressive stance will drop jaws. INFINITI outfitted its refined SUV with its most updated design language. Now featuring the brand’s signature double arch grille and cut D-pillar, there is no question which auto family this crossover belongs.
Shortening its wheelbase to 110.2-in. and overall length to 184.8-in., INFINITI also increased the QX50’s width to 74.9-in. - giving it a more aggressive and secure stance. The stylish crossover now comes in a range of exterior color options for added customization, including: Majestic White, Eclipse Black, Liquid Platinum, Graphite Shadow, and Chestnut Brown.Â

On April 14, the South Sound Sustainability Expo will take place at the Greater Tacoma Convention Center from 10AM to 3PM. The 11th annual event connects residents with local businesses and organizations who are committed to furthering the green movement here in the Pacific Northwest. Attendees are invited to explore topics, attend workshops, and take part in family activities such as live storytelling and environmentally friendly crafts. A tiny house, electric bikes for test-riding, music and food trucks will also be available just outside the venue.
Arrive to this year’s expo with your entire family in the efficient 2019 INFINITI QX50.
Featuring the world’s first production-ready VC-Turbo engine, the all-new QX50 snags an EPA rating that is up 35 percent from last year. The 2019 crossover gets 24 MPG city and 31 highway, compared to its predecessor which fell short at 17 and 24, respectively. Its previous self isn’t the only model the INFINITI CUV is besting when it comes to fuel economy. The hybrid versions of the 2018 Lexus RX and the Toyota Highlander, for example, are each rated at only 28 MPG HWY.
On paper, the 2019 QX50 is the perfect vehicle for this year’s sustainability expo. In person, this INFINITI crossover is exceptional in every way imaginable. Come down and check it out for yourself.Â

Spring has arrived to the Pacific Northwest, and we couldn’t be more excited. Be sure to get out and enjoy the seasonal temps here in Tacoma by attending the upcoming Daffodil Marine Festival and Parade. A community favorite, this year’s event will take place on the Ruston Way waterfront April 13-15 with a “Traditions in Bloom†theme.
Starting out at the Tacoma Yacht Club and continuing along the Thea Foss Waterway through downtown, there are plenty of great spots to sit and enjoy the sights of this unique spring festival. Get there in style with the all-new 2018 INFINITI Q50.
This luxury sedan was designed to create a sense of movement, even at a standstill. Second row passengers won’t miss a minute of the parade action, thanks to crescent-shaped rear window arcs that enhance visibility and lend to the fluid exterior aesthetics. Aggressively stylized multi-mode jeweled headlamps are accented by LED daytime running lights, which give a powerful first impression. Continuing this initial impact are chiseled fenders, athletically sculpted side panels, and a revised back bumper which features slimmer tail lamps than previous models.
Bystanders may be there for the parade, but your grand entrance in the 2018 Q50 will turn attention away from the decorated boats and onto your luxury sedan. Come down and take yours home today.Â

April is in full-swing and Seattle public school students are gearing up for spring break which kicks off in less than a week. In preparation for this classroom-free stretch of time, parents are filling up their social calendars with kid-friendly activities. Before heading out to a Beneath the Streets tour in Pioneer Square or for a duck ride on Lake Union, stop by our dealership to secure a new set of wheels that will deliver you and your most precious cargo safely to your destination.
The 2018 INFINITI QX30 is a popular choice for families looking to explore all that Seattle has to offer without sacrificing on-road safety.
When INFINITI designed its new CUV peace of mind was a top priority. Run-flat tires support the crossover even when a loss in air pressure occurs - a small gesture that makes a big impact when it comes to behind-the-wheel confidence. Here in the Pacific Northwest, unpredictable weather and road conditions come standard. On the QX30 Premium, so do a slew of active safety technologies.
Each included innovation is appreciated (like Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind-Spot Monitoring, and Lane-Departure assistance), but the hatchback’s front automated emergency braking technology is truly exceptional. Sensors nestled out of sight in the QX30’s grille monitor the vehicle and the road ahead for objects that have the potential to cause a collision. Audible and visual warnings are deployed before the system triggers the FEB, helping to minimize the effects of a wreck, or avoiding one altogether.
