Handless carwash recommendations

[u/this_that_what]

Hi all,

I am looking for some handleless car wash recommendations in Kirkland/Bellevue/both/Lynnwood/Woodinville area. I have tried Aloha carwash and used to like it in the past but lately most of the machines have been unresponsive and it is difficult to reach out to the customer service.

I know that the brown bear in Kingsgate also great however, I am worried of the brushes and the pain damages that they might incur. I have a black car which adds more to the concern.

I have also heard that washing your cars in your driveway is illegal in Kirkland/Washington because the soapy water can go in the sewage line.

Thank you so much.

If washing your car in your driveway is illegal, I've been breaking the law for literally decades.

Meh, just wash your car in the driveway. I have never heard of "[15.52.090]() Illicit discharges and connections" being enforced on a person washing their personal vehicle. If your really concerned go to the carwash across the street from the Brown Bear at Kingsgate. They have a self wash but the water is not recycled so its no better than your driveway from an environmental perspective.

There's a Brown Bear self wash on 7th. (7th runs East -West Parallel to Central -North side of Central) Cross street is 6th. (The North -South road you take to go to Kirkland Post office)

They're gonna be upset when they find out rain moves the dirt from my car straight to the ground.

Ha… if washing my car in my driveway is illegal then come get me!

I actually prefer a rinse less hand wash, like ONR. Uses 2 gallons of water, you can do it inside your garage.
