Massage Parlor Reports

[Tasman63]

If you give your phone number to the mama-san, at least don't give it to her along with your board handle. You are just making it too easy. No shit, I've seen more than one dude's board name when I have been doing the translator thing with the MMS. Might be pretty fucking awkward if the wrong people got hold of her phone.

And pro tip: the super-busy super-popular shops are targets and if you're going to play you've got to be discreet and invisible. Those shops are the opposite of invisible.

Good point!

I understand the spam and BS reviews were an issue, but in this region there are only a handful of good parlors and we have banned the only spas most people go to in like a 60 mile radius from my house. I'm not going to act like I know what's best for the forum but I have no reason to open this website anymore. People already stopped using rubmaps ages ago, this was the only place left I had to check who is working when and where and now I'm just completely in the dark.

Don't let the ban stop you, Texted MMS and start developing a repour and tell them your preferences GFE, PSE and they'll recommend someone. Yes, reviews are nice, personally I've never really been disappointed. Don't get me wrong some experiences are better than others, YMMV but a lot rides on how you treat the ladies!

I have to agree with nonono90. I am up in bellingham and the unspoken were my go to I could sense what the admin has spoken up about, but isn't it my job to sort the bullshit and lies from solid info? It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure it out. I too rarely come on here anymore.

ANy recent intell, or rubmaps reviews worth checking into?

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?

I went to Diamond Spa, formerly Sweet Spa, on Broadway yesterday. The masseuse was young, in her 20's. She gave a mediocre massage, and then on the flip offered HE only. She was very attractive, but also rather inexperienced. Nice attitude though. May repeat. I asked at the end, and she does not provide anything above L1 service.

Gents. So. Which is your fav? Yes I know old grannies you say! I say fun times. I usually like ET, thoughts and opinions?

[Tasman63]

In that case you might want to check out Heng Kang Massage. On the east side of Evergreen Way around 109th. Very nice L1 massage.

Not that old! LOL.

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.

You will find quite a few L3 places on Broadway. It is easier to list the non-L3 places. As mentioned below, Ocean Spa with Cici is L1 only. That is the only purely L1 place that I know of. Pink Flamingos offers covered L2 and the rest all offer L3.

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

Joy was shut down VERY recently because they were operating without a business license. The orange notice is on their door. Because massage is technically a medical practice under state law, LE is limited in how aggressive they can be without probable cause and a warrant. 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.
