A dog wash in White Center appeared closed during a recent visit, with the lights off and no clear explanation visible from outside.

The business was identified as The Wash Dog in White Center, near Taco Bell. One local customer said they had been bringing their dogs there for the last five years and would be disappointed to lose a place they trust for grooming.

The clearest indication so far is a Facebook update from the business saying it is closing. Based on that, the shutdown appears to be permanent rather than a brief temporary closure.

For White Center pet owners, that would mean losing a familiar neighborhood service with a base of loyal regulars.
