SEATTLE — To celebrate it’s 64th anniversary, Brown Bear is offering free car washes at 28 tunnel wash locations.

The “Beary Clean” washes will be available on Thursday, Aug. 26 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Last year, 29,756 cars and trucks across the Puget Sound area took advantage of the one-day event.

The Seattle-based, family-owned company said it has provided more than 476,259 free “Beary Clean” washes over the past 14 years to celebrate its August birthday and to honor former and current service members on Veterans Day.

“This has become a tradition for us, and it’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ to the loyal customers who have supported us for over 60 years,” said Odermat. “It’s a fun and busy day as we celebrate with our customers while benefitting the environment.”

Brown Bear founder and CEO, Victor Odermat, opened the company’s first location in 1957 at 1800 15th Ave West in Seattle.

Brown Bear owns and operates 52 car washes throughout the Puget Sound area and Spokane.
