The public was able to feast on the display of 128 beautiful and unique vehicles worth over $1 million at the Federal Way Lions Club’s 2016 car show. Over 100 pounds of donated food was collected for the local food bank, and the net proceeds of the event – over $11,000 – will be given to 2017 graduating seniors in Federal Way.
