Brown Bear to offer free car washes to celebrate 59th anniversary

Seattle-based Brown Bear Car Wash will offer complimentary car washes next Thursday, August 25 to celebrate its 59th anniversary.

The company will be offering free “Beary Clean” tunnel washes from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at 21 Brown Bear locations in the Puget Sound area, including the Ballard location (5111 15th Ave NW) and the original Brown Bear location by Interbay (1800 15th Ave W).

During the celebration, on August 25, two lucky customers will be selected to receive free car washes for a year: an annual membership to Brown Bear’s Unlimited Wash Club. Enter to win by taking a photo of your newly-washed vehicle and posting it on Twitter (@brownbear) or Instagram (@brownbearcarwash) with the hashtag #FreeCarWashDay.

For the past nine years, Brown Bear has offered these free “Beary Clean” tunnel car washes twice a year. Last year’s anniversary event generated 26,437 free washes, bringing the combined total of complimentary anniversary and free Veterans Day washes to over 250,000.

“It’s a fitting way to say ‘thank you’ to our customers who have supported us over the past 59 years,” said Brown Bear founder and owner Vic Odermat.
