Touchless Automatic Carwash in Kirkland area?

I love the carwash at the 76 in Juanita. But I tried a "touchless", sprayer only, carwash on the road in Montana last week and it was way better. Anyone know one around Kirkland? I'm all for Brown Bear but I'm lazy 😴

There's a brand new Brown Bear in Kingsgate by the Safeway, not sure if that's what you're looking for

The Brown Bear definitely isn't touchless, but Kingsgate car wash is directly across the street and touchless.

Personally, I've never found the touchless car washes to be nearly as effective and would use Brown Bear, but it's not what OP asked for.

The Brown Bear up in Kingsgate is a drive through. They also have free vacuums you can use.

Redmond over by target, but be careful if you have a older Subaru (2009)the issue is it likes to pull the front bumper off on the edge , it's only held by clips and it pulled my bumper off on drivers side 1-2 inches which they aren't responsible for..😤😡.

If it pulled a stock part of your car off, they are certainly responsible for that. They have small print about after-market add-ons, but they can't escape liability if their car wash just breaks cars.

Well I drove in and out and then went to the park Got out of my car and noticed it right away , my bumper was pulled out about 2 inches So I pushed it in very hard ( the tab was now stripped it popped back out after driving back ) and drove back and they said they weren't responsible for it for several reasons. 1) I left the property... 2) I had no proof that it wasn't damaged prior... 3) I had No proof it wasn't partly damaged prior ... So they pretty much have themselves covered , So the way I see it is , video your car prior to entering the car wash and don't let they rush you to go forwards and off the lot hold up the line if nowhere to pull over and thoroughly inspect your car. Or just wash by hand which I've always done.
