Brown Bear Car Wash Gives Free Wash on Aug. 25

Brown Bear Car Wash has several locations with a tunnel car wash in Pierce County.

If you have a dirty car, truck, SUV or van and like the concept of free - as in, you don't pay anything - be grateful for Thursday, Aug. 25.

Brown Bear Car Wash will celebrate its 54th anniversary by giving a free car wash from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. for this one-time offer, the company announced Tuesday. The company is offering a free "Bear Essential" wash.

The nearest participating Brown Bear Car Wash is located in north Fircrest, 5950 6th Ave.
