Car Wash Seattle Locations * Car Detailing

After 64 years of serving the Seattle community, the World-Famous Elephant Super Car Wash, located on Denny Way and Battery Street in downtown Seattle, is closing its doors. It is with deep sadness that we announce this closure as we have tried to keep this location open, even as it
continued to lose money over the last few years. The increasing crime, drug activity, and homelessness in and around the car wash has made it extremely difficult to retain staff and attract customers to our
business. When coupled with the ever-increasing cost of doing business in Seattle and the city’s ever-increasing, burdensome regulatory demands, we have determined that it is impossible for a small, minimum wage-based business such as ours to successfully operate within Seattle, even one that’s been established since 1956.
The beloved rotating Elephant Car Wash sign is being donated to the Museum of History and Industry (MOHAI) here in Seattle, solidifying this iconic sign for all to enjoy well into the future!
We thank the people of Seattle for embracing the Elephant Super Car Wash – it has truly been an honor being a part of Seattle’s history for over 60 years.
The very first Elephant Car Wash on 4th and Lander in SoDo continues to operate, as does our Bellevue location, both providing the excellent full-service car washing the Seattle community has come to expect
from Elephant Car Washes.

With several convenient locations throughout the area, you’re sure to find one close to home.  Please contact an Elephant Car Wash near you for details.  Closing times vary, dependent upon weather.
