Often described as a “go anywhere, do anything†CUV with adventure at its core, the 2018 INFINITI QX30 is the perfect vehicle to navigate you to the Washington State Garlic Fest, this weekend.
Celebrating the tastefully pungent cuisine, the event runs daily from August 24 to August 26. Vendors from across both the state and the nation proudly bring their wares to the Southwest WA Fairgrounds — located just 87 miles south of Seattle. Here, attendees can enjoy food, beer and wine, music, arts and crafts, antiques, and more.
A drive that typically would take about an hour and a half from the city center will feel like a breeze in the QX30. Equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine, this compact crossover produces 208 HP and 258 lb-ft of torque. Despite the abundance of highly responsive power, one can also expect enhanced fuel efficiency.
Thanks to an idle stop-start system which automatically turns off the engine when waiting at lights or in traffic, the vehicle preserves its gasoline stores. With a rating of 24 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway, commuting to the WSGF is light on your pocketbooks so that you can spend your cash on treats and souvenirs instead.

What better way to spend a weeknight than rocking out for a good cause? ZooTunes offers live music performances from today’s top artists against a beautiful outdoor backdrop. This August 22nd and 23rd, you can enjoy classical pop by Pink Martini in Woodland Park’s picturesque North Meadow — just five miles north of Seattle.
With one free child admission (age 12 or younger) per adult, the whole family can partake in the fun. Forget about basic caravaning — plan to arrive in style in the 2019 INFINITI QX80. With seating for up to eight and an interior volume of 16.79 cu-ft, your squad can all ride together.
Plus, since even its most standard form it comes equipped with a Bose 13-Speaker Premium Audio System, you can enjoy some musical pre-gaming en route. The advanced setup includes two subwoofers and rear headliner-mounted third-row tweeters. As these units are located up high, they help to ensure the sound quality is never compromised by cargo.
The winning combination of VIP transportation and open-air concerts may seem hard to top. However, we also love that this summer tradition funds world-class animal care, conservation projects, and award-winning educational programs.

Head just 33 miles south of Seattle this weekend and find yourself transported to a world of piratical plunder! The Washington Midsummer Renaissance Faire wraps up its last event of the season tomorrow from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
If a pirate’s life is for you, then trek on down to the Kelley Farm in Bonney Lake to enjoy singing, dancing, and lots of swashbuckling! With scheduled performances (such as a jousting tournament, puppet shows, and live music), there’s fun for the whole family to be had!
Since this is sure to be an occasion no one in your squad will want to miss, the 2019 INFINITI QX60 is the perfect vehicle to get you there. With 149.0 cu-ft of interior volume and seating capacity for seven, you won’t have to worry about leaving anyone behind. For those really getting into the mood, 40.7 inches of first-row headroom allows for shotgun riders to don their captain’s hats en route.
However, it’s probably best if the play swords and hooks remain in the trunk for the journey. With 16.0 cu-ft behind the rear bench, there’s plenty of space for stowing your medieval props and toys.

It’s true what they say: beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Discover your definition at the Seattle Art Fair. The opening night of this contemporary showcase kicks off at 6:00 PM on August 2nd; and you’ll have a chance to contemplate abstract paintings, ponder dynamic sculptures, and absorb the multi-media installation of Rootsystems and Ley Lines by C. Davida Ingram.
Â
Navigating Seattle Art Fair traffic is a breeze in your 2019 INFINITI QX50, thanks to ProPilot Assist system.Â
Â
The semi-autonomous technology was created to support drivers, rather than remove them from the equation. Take on stop-start traffic with the help of a forward-facing camera and radar, which monitor the position of vehicles and potential hazards in front of you. The system automatically applies brakes or accelerates based on this feedback. You can even preset the distance you’d like the QX50 to maintain from other cars with Distance Control Assist.Â
Â
Steering Assist keeps you in your lane by identifying markings on the road. The same system allows the vehicle to autonomously navigate curves with ease. Don’t worry if you start to drift toward the lines. When active, ProPilot will adjust the vehicle’s position so you stay centered.
Â
Think of these innovative technologies as your trusty co-pilot in the 2019 QX50. Stop by INFINITI of Tacoma at Fife, WA to schedule a test drive!

Are you ready for some good old-fashioned family fun? Head out to the 2018 Magnolia Summerfest in Seattle, taking place August 3rd - 5th. This community celebration has been making Washington smile for the past 66 years! Enjoy the much anticipated Seafair Parade on Saturday, groove to live music all weekend, and gather your kids for an outdoor showing of the magical Pixar movie Coco. Check out the full schedule of activities here.
Â
Between other cars, switching lanes, and avoiding potential hazards, driving to the Summerfest comes with an abundance of distractions. The Head-Up Display (part of the 2017 INFINITI QX70 ProPILOT Assist) is a 9.0-inch area on the windscreen. It conveniently projects warnings and other information that keep you between the lines and protect you from a collision with other objects on the road. The positioning of the HUD allows you to adjust your sightline by four degrees - as opposed to the 20 degrees that other vehicles require - and this helps to alleviate fatigue and improve reaction times.
Â
Experience the confidence of having real-time information directly from your 2017 QX70. Roll over to INFINITI of Tacoma at Fife, WA to test drive this tech-forward vehicle today.

There are times you want a huge venue with big name rock stars and 5,000 new friends. But there’s also something nice about a more intimate music experience with a few of your favorite people.

Â
The massive 2018 INFINITI QX80 is the obvious choice to load up 6 of your closest friends and head to your new favorite venue. The hotel-on-wheels provides enough space for everyone to stretch out and keep their belongings neatly tucked away. In the front, they get a generous 39.6-inches of legroom, while the second and third row enjoy an ample 41-inches and 28.8-inches respectively. The full-size SUV offers up an impressive cargo area of 16.6 cu-ft. For reference, that’s big enough to fit about ten carry-on bags. So bring a couple of coolers with snacks to share!

It’s no secret that Seattle runs on sweet brews! Some people are happy with whatever they can grab from the store. But, for the rest of us, java is both an unparalleled luxury and a lifeline. If you’re serious about your morning beans, head to CoffeeCon (held July 28th - July 29th). Percolate during Slayer Latte Art workshops with Nelson Icenhower; meet the people that work with the miracle grounds; and learn how to curate your own espresso bar with Sarah Dooley.
Â
For a ride as smooth as that second shot of espresso, slip into the 2018 INFINITI Q50 3.0t. The aerodynamic coupe showcases an intentional exterior composition, which contributes to an outstanding drag coefficient of .28. This creates a smooth drive with superior fuel economy, sitting at 23 mpg combined (20 city / 29 highway).Â
Â
Aligned with INFINITI’s “zero lift†design philosophy, this sleek coupe features a prominent airfoil on the front bumper’s base. A low center of gravity further decreases lift and reduces body roll, which results in tighter, faster turns and better handling at higher speeds. The arched roofline melds seamlessly with the signature crescent C-pillars to complement the wave-like design and reduce drag.
Â
Experience the only thing smoother than your single origin coffee with the 2018 Q50 3.0t. Call INFINITI of Tacoma at Fife, WA today!

Hear ye, hear ye! You are cordially invited to attend the St. James Village Faire held by the Lord of Camlann. This weekend-long festival takes place July 28th - July 29th and is inspired by the 14th century world of Somersetshire, England. Stroll the grounds to enjoy longbow demonstrations, Medieval crafting, and even illusions (as performed by Paynes Magykes); and, as the evening comes to a close, feast on traditional fare at the Grand Table.
Â
After a day of discovering fine clay wares and handmade fabrics, you’ll need somewhere to stow your newfound treasures. The stylish 2019 INFINITI QX50 has ample room for your goodies and costumes. Boasting a generous 31.4 cu-ft. in its bay, critics note that this ride could easily take on an “ambitious, flat-pack furniture runâ€. The already-abundant space expands to 64.4 cu-ft. once you fold down the rear seats; and, if so equipped, a motion-activated liftgate allows you to effortlessly load and unload your haul. Before you’re ready to roll utilize the net tie-in anchors to secure your items; and take advantage of seat-back pockets and a center console for further storage options.

Fully loaded hot dogs, long summer afternoons, and the sound of a ball cutting through the air: baseball season is in full swing in Seattle!

After the lights go down and the crowd pours out of the ballpark cool off in the 2018 INFINITI QX60.
Â
This automatic system comes standard with the 2018 QX60, allowing passengers in three distinct zones (driver seat, front passenger, and rear riders) to adjust the degrees with their own set of controls. Center vents in the second row and side ducts on either side of the third bench ensure the cool air (or heat) reaches the whole family.
