The Wash Dog, a White Center grooming salon and dog wash, is expected to close by Nov. 15. But the grooming staff plans to stay in the neighborhood with a new shop of its own.

A previous owner, Thyra, said the groomers are working together to open a new White Center salon by year's end. The planned name is Moonlit Mutts.

The new business is expected to offer grooming only, without a dog wash. A new White Center location has been identified, though it is still being finalized.
