Victor Odermat opened the first Brown Bear Car Wash on 15th Avenue West in Seattle's Interbay neighborhood, and that location is still in operation today. Today, we still strive to offer the same eco-friendly, customer driven service that we have for over 60 years. However, we are excited to see our wash locations continue to grow and change, in addition to becoming infinitely more aesthetically pleasing.

Not to bad for a DIY Carwash that's open 24 hours. However if you wanted a more in depth detail visit during regular business hours and you can get that done too.
The night shift security guard is cool and it's nice to know that if you were being accosted but the local tweeker/crazy there is someone that gets paid to come to your aid., Or possibly just to tell you that you can't be there if your not cleaning you vehicle but whatever works

Don't come here. Many patrons blast awful music at all hours while using the self-wash, subjecting the surrounding area to their terrible taste and selfishness. Would you feel like being inundated with c.2012 Nicki Minaj at 11:30pm on a weeknight while trying to fall asleep the night before an early meeting? Me neither. The staff do nothing about it, despite polite requests to ask people to use basic manners while visiting their site. Local businesses have an obligation to be good neighbors, and that's not what you get here. Hope they go out of business ASAP.

This is the corporate office one of the corporate managers Francisco goes around to all the other offices and all the other stores insulting interrupting and being straight rude to their employees they claim to be a green car wash but end up recycling only about 15% of the water they use which is okay not enough to call you green the higher up managers are extremely rude and interrupted they are like talking to a brick wall... This is not a healthy environment to work in and they don't have good benefits do not apply and work at any brown bear
