Thank you for all the info. I will stick to what I know and not venture up there. Maybe I will check out north Everett instead. Hoping there is a L3 parlor there. Usually I stay south Everett north Lynnwood.

Any recommendations of places in the north lynnwood / south Everett area? (Ones less travelled, and won't get you in trouble for mentioning?

So they've started using compliance as their mallet.

Options are limited in Marysville because the city requires a city business operations endorsement in addition to a standard state business license. The only open AMPs there now are Oasis, Lily, and Sunrise. As far as I can tell, they all have valid licenses posted. Lavender was open and compliant but the partner who held the business license is retiring so the store is "offline" until the licensing is all squared away under the new name. The stores are justifiably scared to operate without a valid license because the municipalities are now being heavily punitive for any violations.

I'm told Lavender is reopening soon with a new name once the updated licenses are ready. Local government isn't known for speediness. But it will not be a "big jobs" shop. The official word is "massage only with no extras" at all of the Marysville stores. Moving beyond that may not be possible for most, and an relaxing L1 finish will be the max available for regular customers who establish trust and who don't write online reviews. It sucks, but it's where we are right now. Reviews are useful to LE only as a way to help target potential stores to investigate, but not enough by themselves to get a warrant. But now a single review is enough to trigger a simple unannounced compliance check from a non LE agency. This is happening everywhere statewide. Owners all over the area are asking for either no reviews or very general ones. Further, services at many of the Puget Sound shops are shrinking out of fear because reviews are now being used by LE to trigger compliance inspections from fire and health departments.

This is a review site so Im not going to go so far as to say Dont write reviews! Ill still be reviewing but Im going to be much more selective in how I do it. Especially for stores I selfishly dont want to see closed.

Its a new shitty era in the local massage industry. New and proposed state and city legislation are trying to make it shittier. I think FedWay is trying to ban cash transactions even.

Thanks for the update. When they reopen I want to try them out as they are close -- a high quality massage is something I want. Hope it's soon. If you know is the plan the same spot?

I think that explicit ads on places like bedpage are even more likely ways to get scrutiny.

I've cut back on reviews even on sites where I am free to write all I want. Need to get past this time.

Pharaohs.

Asian fever.

Cocoa collective.

Or any others you visited? TIA.

Pharoh is decent. AF and coco are better imo because their scheduling is a breeze.

Coco has a big roster but some girls are hit or miss. Review perb for more info.

White and river are top tier asian women at AF. Silvia and pecan are top tier white women at AF.

Checked Rainbow out a few years ago. Fairly attractive lady in 30's-40's.ok massage, remained fully clothed in yoga pants. Encouraged minimal touch over clothes. HJ only. Never went back.

**Trappin1719** · 08-04-26 11:06

We had it good here in the north for a while but now that things have changed I don't get out to AMPs often because there is no intel to research and I'm not very adventurous. So, I need help finding a few reliable spots offering a decent teasing massage with attractive ladies. I know attractive can be subjective. I don't have an age preference (under 53 preferred).

What do I consider attractive?.spinners not my thing but will swim in that pool occasionally. Curvy / Athletic is ideal for me, Re service a great massage is always s bonus but if the additional fun was L2 or L3 I'd likely be a happy camper. I'd also like to be able to research a little cause as we know some of you mofo's be lying LOL / jk. Anyway, Feel free to share here or dm. If you prefer to keep your honeycomb hideout low key I can assure you I will too. Thanks.

By the way. I might have one to share as well🤷127998;8205;9794;65039;.

AF and CC are both solid. Easy to book appointments. Pictures seem to be accurate. Lots of reviews on the Vancouver BC thread.

These are so convenient to get to, curious if they are worth stopping by lately.

One Spa (One Spa 4716 Evergreen Way) Used to be great, on par with the banned places, then costs creeped up. I've noticed the craft shop next door occasionally sits outside and watches their door, anyone been recently??

Sweet massage, recently renamed again, 1807 broadway just half a block north of 19th. Worth stopping by?

Q-Spa in downtown Everett (2625 Colby Ave) what's this one like??

Lumi Zen (3211 Broadway) I've heard mixed reviews, anything recent?

Good massage, HE and she will check your oil but nothing more than a little groping. Tall pretty Chinese girl with dd naturals and very friendly. Her name is Sho Sho.
