Wash Spot Express Self Service Dog Wash

Love my Wash Spot. After visiting the dog park, it’s great to have the option to wash my two girls myself since groomers can be expensive and washing my lab and mix in the tub at the apt is a gruesome task (and involves cleaning the tub afterwards!!!). The Wash Spot has grain-​free treats to make my girls feel like getting a bath isn’t all that bad, and the shampoo they have makes my two babies smell like they really did come from the groomers. At 10 bucks a dog and with excellent helpful and personable staff, I dub this place a blessing from God.

This place is incredible! We gave our dog a bath here for the first time last week. We had no clue what we were doing with the machine but the employees were so helpful & patient. Super convenient and pretty inexpensive.

Perfect location after all the splashing and running around at the off leash park! I’d recommend the $ 14 for 14 minutes wash, so you won’t be rushed. The water was warm and the tools worked well but the best part was the service. The assistant was friendly and super helpful. He walked me through the process thoroughly but efficiently, and checked on us a couple of times. This place is a must after any muddy visits!

I love this place! It’s very clean and and easy to use. The staff member was friendly and took time to say hi to my labs. I do wish the shorter time was 10 minutes instead of 8. That’s OK though, my labs don’t want an extended bathtime!
Will definitely be back.

Never thought this would be good but I have to admit, this should be the best dog wash ever! They charge a nominal price of either $ 9 for 8mins or $ 13 for 14 mins compared to other kennels who charge $ 40. There is ample space to bathe and dry your dog. The washer has modes to rinse, shampoo, low dry and high dry. They also provide a large towel along with the price.

The food was excellent. Also the dog wash was affordable and perfect after playing in the park.

Our pup rolled in something very smelly at the Marymoor Dog Park today. Thank goodness The Wash Spot is located at the parking area of the dog walk! Cynthia came to our rescue. She set us up at a true dog washing sink and gave me latex gloves (at no extra charge) so I wouldn’t have to touch the smelly stuff. She even gave me a special shampoo to eliminate bad odors, which afforded me 2 chances to rinse out the offending smell. This place is a car saver! Very reasonably priced. Supplies everything you need to wash and dry your dog well.

Does the Wash Spot have a new owner? We’ve been going there for years and have loved the business, esp. the wonderful staff. I’ve been there lately and the service is way off.
The person on duty is always very busy talking to people who are there without dogs??? One day I bought my ticket, found a spot myself (only one other dog washer there) and waited for her to turn on the wash. I waited, waited… looked her way… Her companion, with her in the back room, looked my way and asked if there was something I needed? Yep! Hate to bother them but I needed the machine turned on? What is that about?
This business is a great concept and something many dog owners use regularly, please keep it great!

Very helpful staff, clean and easy to use. Also a place to chain up another dog while u wash the others. If u go on a sunny day, they are usually open.

This place has wonderful customer service and is so convenient. I was there today and got a free dog wash! The staff is so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this spot. Thank you for service:)

First of all Unilocal,please show their hours correctly. During winter hours, they are only open til 4PM each day. Once we spring ahead, they go to 6PM. Their prices have gone up too, only by a $ 1, but it’s $ 10 for the shorter version, $ 14 for the longer.
Now to the real review, these people are awesome. They provide the best service for you to clean up your dog, especially after a romp around Marymoor Park Off Leash park, which is next to it.
The facility itself is clean and functional. It allows you to get your dog up off the ground, in a secure way and allow you to get them completely clean and dry. Think of a self service car wash, the wand, the dial, you get rinse, shampoo and vacuum all right at your fingertips.
The people are what makes it even better. They always have a kind word, provide water dishes outside and dog treats to give to your pup. They go out of their way to make sure you have a great experience. We go there every few weeks and are never disappointed.

I took my two labs here today for baths. I was very impressed with the entire experience. Warren was super nice and very helpful in walking me through the process. Both dogs walked right up the ramp and seemed very comfortable in the tubs. The temperature of the water was perfect and I loved the ease of applying the shampoo. Best of all, since the tubs are at waist height, my back didn’t hurt and after I was done the entire mess was left behind! The price is reasonable and totally worth it!

These guys are great when they’re open. They are clean, it’s very convenient to go there, washing our dog is great… when they’re open.
The problem is… they’re never open when I need them. I tried to find out when they’re open (their hours change in the summer/​winter). Can’t check their web site (they don’t have one), so I called their phone number to get their hours. No answer, not even an answering machine with a recording of their hours — nothing. So I drive by the location and the sign says 10am-​6pm except holidays and park event days.
I picked up my dog from boarding and needed to do a quick wash for him before I had to run to work. I expected them to honor their posted hours like any other business but nobody showed up at 10am and after waiting 15 minutes, I was running late for work and had to go somewhere else. They don’t seem to take their hours very seriously. Today could have been a «park event day» where they’re closed, but you would think they’d post something on their sign. Instead, I’m left guessing and I ended up being late to work because they didn’t honor their posted hours.
This place is great when they’re open but I don’t get the impression they take their hours of operation very seriously. I know this isn’t a large business like a bank, but I’ve been burned several times when I’ve tried to come here and they’re not open in the mornings.

This is so clean, professional and a great set up.
I am happy to say this is the only in and out self wash place I will go. I highly recommend washing your dog here, it is heated in the winter and cool and shady in the summer.

This place is so great! Convenient location, great set-​up for an in-​and-​out dog wash! The gentleman working there was so helpful and funny — it made the whole experience that much better!
Our German Shepherd doesn’t swim and he accidentally fell in the water, so we needed to rinse him off before taking him home. The guy even helped show us some tips on how to most efficiently and quickly wash a medium-​haired, two-​coated dog. Success! I will definitely recommend this to friends, and will be returning.

Love this place! Worth the trip to give the dogs a good run and an affordable wash. (And not have to clean up the tub at home.)

All dog parks need a Wash Spot!
All dog owners know how it works when you are at the dog park, you let your dog off leash and the first thing it does is roll around in the dirt thinking to itself FREEDOM!!! Next thing you know he/​she is romping away with all the other dogs, running through mud, water, tall grass. There is always that one dog that looks like a giant bear and has drool running down it’s mouth that just happens to slobber all over your dog! At the end of it your dog has the biggest smile and looks like he touched, sniffed, rolled around in everything he could possibly get himself into. You could throw him in the car, i mean he’s a dog they do that. ORRRRR the alternative step up to wash spot pay a few bucks and during a timed session clean up your pooch.
The Wash Spot provides EVERYTHING, you walk your dog up to the big sink that holds up to some large dogs. They have a hose that depending on which setting you put it on pumps out water, shampoo (two different kinds) hypoallergenic or herbal. They have a blower to dry them off and they provide dry clean towels. Everyone that works there is great and because all stations are timed the wait is minimal. When it comes to dog parks Marymore is doing it right by having a Wash spot. Highly recommend going to this dog park because it does provide all amenitites you need.

Wash Spot is the absolutely best DIY dog-​wash in this area! Reasons why:
1) It’s cheaper than most DIY dogwashes — only ($ 9.00 for 9 minutes, which is plenty of time to wash my short-​hair 70-​pound Sharpei-​mix). Most other DIY places I’ve been to run $ 15 – 20.
2) The set up is so easy. You use the same hose to rinse and apply shampoo. There’s a nob that lets you select water or two different kinds of shampoos. It’s fun to see the foam shoot out of the shower head, and you can use as much shampoo as you want. Smells great too. Some other places give you watered-​down stuff that doesn’t leave my dog’s coat very clean. Another hose gives you a low and high setting for drying (dog hates that part).
3) It’s fast. Other than the 9-​minute wash, you pay quickly at an automated machine and the attendant just quickly cleans between washes and gives you fresh towels and aprons.
4) It’s conveniently located next to Marymoor Park. If you haven’t been there with your dog, RUN, not walk, over there the minute you have a few free hours!

It’s a routine I haven’t broken in years. After an exhausting play at Marymoor, I bring my dogs to Wash Spot. One wet afternoon, a funny thing happened…
I took my nephew and niece to Marymoor so they could play fetch with my dogs. Needless to say, the dogs were muddy and so were the kids after a long day. As I led my lab Rufus to the Wash Spot tub, my four– year-​old nephew was excited.
«Go up the tub,» I told Rufus. But before Rufus could make a step, my nephew quickly dropped his jacket, lifted his shirt to get naked and about to go up the ramp.
«Not you,» I exclaimed. «It’s a tub for dogs!» The expression on his face was priceless. He thought the tubs are for kids and dogs!
WHY GO THERE? A convenient self-​service dog wash perfect after a dirty romp at Marymoor’s huge off-​leash park.
WHATCHA GOT? I have it down to a science. A short wash (8 minutes) can get my dogs spiffy clean and dry. A long wash is available which is great for dogs with long coat. A choice of hypoallergenic and herbal shampoo is built in and dispensed through the shower. Apron and fresh towels are provided.
YOU GOT SERVED. Everybody here is friendly and helpful. I see the staff guide customers whose dog may have fear of bathing. Card transactions only. No cash. Free dog treats.
