A show that will interest everyone from gem collectors to rockhounds is coming to Issaquah.
The 2026 East KingCo Rock & Gem Show will be held at Issaquah’s popular Pickering Barn and promises to be an enjoyable event for everyone in the family. More than 30 dealers will be on hand, offering minerals, jewelry, and gems, and minerals and gems will be on display as well.
An exhibit of stone sculpture will be featured, and collectors are invited to bring their rocks to the show to have them identified by experts. Activities specifically for children are planned, and a silent auction as well as door prizes will add to the enjoyment of the weekend. When organizers plan events of this type, they can use flyer printing to create a handout for attendees. They can include a floor plan of the vendors, as well as a schedule of any extra events.
