The Soggy Doggy Story

At The Soggy Doggy, we know that sometimes man’s best friend can get a little nervous at the groomer’s. That’s why we have five tubs dedicated specifically to self-serving dog washes. Your pup trusts you over anyone else in the world, so our washing method makes it easier and cheaper to get your fur baby squeaky clean. From teacup Yorkies to the biggest great Danes, our place welcomes all dogs of all sizes. And because they’re always good boys and girls, we have special treats for purchase when you’re done. But if you’re getting hungry, too, we can get any pet food delivered for free with orders over $25. You and your dog deserve the best treatment possible, and you’ll leave here wondering why you haven’t done this sooner.

Co-owner David Goretski grew up in Lynnwood with parents Fran and Carl Goretski. For three years in high school, he was involved with Junior Achievement. “It got me hooked on owning a business,” recalls David. He attended college in Ellensburg focusing on marketing research. His first job was in Tukwila, and the south end became his new home.

While dating, his girlfriend Heather met his parents. She and his dad decided it would be a fun thing to start a self-service dog washing business. They found a location and were on their way when the landlord changed his mind and the lease fell through. Over the following few months, David and Heather got engaged; they married in 2001.

David and his parents have always been dog lovers, but “Heather makes us look like amateurs, she loves animals so much,” says David. “In high school and college she was involved with Wildlife Rescue. When our first store opened, she went to a 1-2 year grooming school in Kenmore and did some grooming. She just got her Master’s in Environmental Science with an emphasis on biology through the Woodland Park Zoo and Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. She’s worked with giraffes, pigmy rabbits, and howler monkeys in Belize. She’s a teacher at Valhalla Elementary, working with ELL (English language learners) students.
