I love this place! I have had many massages over many years, costing much more money, with varying results. Although the staff here can vary in skill level, I have never left feeling disappointed. In fact, most of the time I am delighted with the service. Special kudos to Lee and to Nina. I like that I get a full hour treatment rather than 50 minutes, and that I don't have to undress and then feel sticky afterwards because of massage oil or lotion. I get to choose the intensity level and speed of the service. And I particularly enjoy the uniform structure of the massage. I like to go just before I have Chiropractic treatment because the adjustments are so much easier. Maybe best of all, I can go anytime, when I am most in need of a massage. Fair warning -- they do not speak English. read more

I worked overseas for 6 months and just got back to Seattle last month -- and one of the first things I did was come back to The Relaxing Station for a massage. I was a little sad to find out that some of the therapists I used to go to are no longer at this location: Mark, Andy, Peter, Owen, and even Tun (the shorter guy with glasseswho was always so warm and welcoming but I never had a massage with him). He always made sure to greet and acknowledge me whenever I visited, which was something I appreciated. Thankfully, David (the tall guy) is still here! It was great to see a familiar face. He has always been one of my go-to therapists since -- he understands the pressure I need and consistently delivers a great massage. Today, I came back again and David wasn't available, so I tried Tao (I believe that was his name). He did a good job and I enjoyed the session. One thing I noticed though -- the therapist photos and names displayed on the monitor seem outdated. I think keeping those updated would be helpful not only for security reasons but also for regular clients who come back and want to recognize their preferred therapists. One area that could use improvement is the air circulation. Since summer is here, the room felt quite warm, and during the later part of my massage, I found it a little difficult to breathe comfortably. Overall, I'm still happy to come back to The Relaxing Station. I appreciate the therapists who have taken care of me over the years and hope the facility continues improving so returning clients can continue having a great experience. The rating is for the poor air circulation I experienced today. read more

I was so happy to discover the Relaxing Station! Super clean and friendly. I got the 40 minute foot reflexology massage from Lina and she was awesome! She had a strong press borderline painful getting out all the knots just the way I like. Hubby had Tao, he seemed a bit more gentle but firm which was perfect for him. Really good pricing. There's a $2 fee for debit cards so recommend bringing cash if you don't like paying fees. read more

Literally the best massages of my life. Very good rates. Get a full hour full body massage, it's so worth it

A large, clean and professional massage parlor in Seattle. They only take walk-in, but you simply sign in at the front desk and write down what type of massage you want, how long, and even what strength and speed you're looking for. The place filled up on a sunday afternoon and I had to wait 10 min before my turn but it's worth the wait. I opted for the 60 min combination of 30min feet and 30 min body ($45 pre tip). Started with the feet in the large chairs and that loosened me up nicely before moving to the beds and getting my back, thighs, and arms done. Overall very good experience for the price! read more

Drop in at an affordable price. Nothing shady going on, everything is open air and clean. Best place for an affordable massage.

I am a regular customer. But I really wish they would have a manager that could speak English. It's very hard to communicate sometimes. read more

Best massage place in Bothell! The customer service is top notch! We go there at least once a month and my back never feels better than after a massage there. read more

There is a survey the ask for when you check in but it's totally ignored. I asked for "gentle " and NO hard tapping. I got rough massage and lots of hard tapping. During the massage I tried to stop them from doing that. They didn't listen. I left feeling beat up read more

Loved it! They have a super efficient system, it's super clean and friendly and the beds were so comfy! Music was relaxing and the massage was amazing. My friend and I just do the 40 minute foot and leg massage and it was just what we needed! Will definitely be back! read more

A really great massage! I did 60 minutes and the pressure and speed were perfect like 95% of the time. This is a place where you a massaged in a large room. You stay face down and they put a sheet over you. You leave your clothes on, so I'd recommend loose, lightweight clothing for the best experience. The room was fairly quiet but if noises bother you, you mind want to bring some ear plugs. The staff don't speak much English, so use a translation app on your phone and set it to Chinese. They give you a bottle of water as well. There is a $2 fee for using a credit card, but the prices are so good for what you get I had no issue paying it. Will definitely be back. read more

I was able to get right in. My back and hips were hurting. The lady who do my massage was amazing! read more

This is my favorite massage place! The staff is so friendly. I play volleyball and have a bad back, so it really helps getting my muscles worked on. I have been going for the last 3 years and have had an amazing experience every time. I always requested Chen :) he is so kind and really knows how to get the knots and fix my back. Highly recommend! read more

The massage I got was more healing than a lot of +$200 massages I've received at spas. There are no frilly details here, and no real privacy. So know that going into. I think it's a walk-in only place because I wasn't able to make an appt over the phone. Street parking available but not easy to get it because of all the blocks around Main Street. I will definitely be returning! read more

Great great foot massage. I wanted to go back but was visiting and didnt get a chance. This has to be my too ratedong salons like this and there are a lot! My service was perfect. read more

Relaxing Station - Body massage - Beauty & Spas Near Me - Bothell, Washington

I went back for another try to see if the situation had improved from my last visit. Once again another 60 minutes of heaven. It starts by having a foot massage in ambiance is a slightly darkened room, soft music, plush chair and a relaxing video playing in the background. The start of the foot massage is with a hot water soak, then onto the foot rub which is fantastic. The massage focuses a lot on the arches and toes. I have been having a lot of heel pain and this massage works wonders for me. This time the massues that was obviously I'll was not there and everyone around me seemed to be enjoying their time there. There was no drama just a peaceful time and walking out on a cloud. read more

My friend and I got right in and we're seated next to one another, despite it being busy and a Saturday. So relaxing.

For the record I did not get a massage here so I can't judge their actual service. That's why am giving it at three middle of the road. We showed up and after calling them. They let us come right in. However they wanted us to lay down in the middle of the room with all of her clothes on. The tables are all set together with a type of fence around each area. Somehow that got lost in translation that this was a fully clothed massage for $45. Even after reading the reviews on here. So I just had to come on and say it's a wonderful business however if you're looking for an oil massage you will not find it at this location. Considering we drove 20 minutes for this I think this is an important part of information that could be & should be the disclosed upfront. read more

I go here all the time. Every now and then I get a mediocre massage, but consistently I get a great person who really does a great job. A reasonable price and you JUST WALK IN , NO APPOINTMENT NEEDED!! And open til 10 Pm. Win win! No one speaks English and it's not fancy and the music plays on a loop, but I recommend this to friends and family alike! Try em out! read more

I have been going there for a while and there are some services I avoid. For example laying face down on the massage table is so uncomfortable. My face hurts the whole time. Those tables are not comfortable. I tried the massage chair and is bit more tolerable if the chair is no lose or shaky. No one speaks English. Not even basic words. I don't know if they additionally pretend not to speak a word so you contend with what they offer instead of the back and forth. Highly questionable not to have at least one who speaks English. It does not matter what preference you specify when you sign in. For instance: intensity or speed. Makes no difference. I chose the highest intensity and the guy just does his thing however he likes. Of course, they don't speak English so don't bother to explain mid session. You are there to relax and not play the sign language game. I would still go there once in a while if I feel ok losing/gambling some money in return for a gamble of somewhat a reflexology or massage session. They are not consistent and clearly don't like their jobs. Just observe how they eye each others; you can smell dishonesty in the air. It sucks to give the, the pleasure to mock westerners like that. You get what you pay for. If you really want something more serious, I would not recommend this place. read more

I had zero idea of what to expect other than word-of-mouth reviews of how great people felt after their visits. It was a lovely foot massage and totally worth the price. $45 for a 60 minutes (wear pants you can pull up to about your knees if possible). You walk in, sign up for your desired experience and depending on capacity, you wait in the front area or you may be immediately seated in your station. As a larger bodied person, the seating for foot massage is comfortable and they do not have armrests. Green flag for body inclusivity. They gave me a warm towel to blanket myself with while i soaked my feet. Took me a moment to adjust to the open setting but oh man, I requested a 4 for intensity and i swear they broke through stress in my feet that I didn't even know that i was holding on to. Also, the staff were attentive, communicative, and knew what they were doing. At the end, they ring you up. They take cash and card. I absolutely will be a returning customer read more

I've been going here for a couple years now and it used to be great. I would go every couple weeks for a 60 minute full body massage. The last few times I've gone I've left disappointed for a number of reasons. I'll just make a list. 1. You walk in and your hit with a repulsive smell. Not sure if it's rotten food, a backed up sewer system, unclean. . . But it smells awful. 2. On the intake sheet of paper there is a place you can let them know what pressure you'd like. I have put #1 down all the way to # 7. It doesn't matter what you put they are going to do it really hard and use there elbows and repeatedly jab them into your bones and muscles. They are going to dig and dig until you are left feeling bruised. I had a "massage" yesterday and I woke up today so sore that I had my husband look for bruising. The man that did my massage kept telling me to relax and I kept telling him I can't because he was hurting me. I can't relax when he's jabbing his elbow into my back. This leads me into my next disappointment. 3. The language barrier. I repeatedly asked him to be more gentle, to do it softer and he would just repeat the word and shake his head and then continue painfully jabbing my back. Working with the public I believe there should be someone there that can help with the language barrier, to be able to talk to and meet the customers needs. I just continued the massage and kept telling myself it was almost over. I didn't want to just get up and walk out, so I finished and just won't be going back. 4. The loud talking between employees was also bothersome. I get massages to relax and unwind and when there are people talking very loudly and swapping who's giving me my massage and what not it's not super relaxing. Overall, you are getting what you paid for when you come here. Not very well trained people giving their idea of a massage. There is no reflexology involved. Just a lot of elbow pushing and finger jabbing that makes me tense up and defeat the whole purpose of a massage. read more

Really great experienced therapists! calming environment, friendly staff and reasonably priced!

A walk in massage business that caters to aching muscles well. Lots of tables and chairs in open spaces that are comfortable and well kept. They were very well staffed and efficient. I enjoyed a 30 min foot massage where I was able to choose the pace and firmness. You start with a nice warm soak and lots of lotion and leave with clean and happy feet. Communication is tricky but they have a great system in place where talking is minimally required. read more

Great value. Not many places will just do 20 minutes for a reasonable price, but that's what I prefer. I mostly just want my neck & shoulders worked on, so I just get a chair massage. I'd rather spend my $ to go more often than on one long massage where they work on muscles that I don't need worked on. Even though they don't speak much English, they're experts at the language of your muscles & bones. They have you circle the intensity & speed you want. I usually go with 4 & that's pretty intense for working out the knots. They offer bottled water after your massage (which is important to get the juices flowing after all that stress is relieved.) They are open late (10pm.) I just walk in & I've never had to wait too long. That area of Bothell is great, so you can pair a massage with dinner at Amaro nearby or any of the other fun restaurants. Parking is pretty easy to find around there too. I just went again on a Saturday night & parked in the next block. Oh & remember to bring cash if you can for a slight discount. read more

I always get wonderful treatment here. This time, it was Bob who massaged put all the knots from my travel weekend. read more

Relaxing Station - In front of the shop - Beauty & Spas Near Me - Bothell, Washington

This is EXACTLY what I needed after a super stressful work day. I wasn't sure what to expect and was a little apprehensive since I usually always go to franchised massage places. I'm so glad I came here though. There was no wait and they take you right back. You stay clothed and they place a sheet over your body and will do whatever pressure you'd like. Everything is open so there are others getting massages around you but honestly it wasn't too bad and that's coming from an anxious person. Think like cubicle style with a massage bed in each cubicle haha The prices are incredible for the service you receive. I think this is an awesome resource to quickly de-stress and have some self care time. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you bob for giving me such a great massage. It removed all the pain from my neck and shoulder. You can choose your intensity and pace before starting the massage. A great customization. The environment is quiet and clean. I would recommend this place to my friend and my family. read more

The male staff that works here is very thorough in all of their appointments. I am glad their full body massage is fully clothed & out in the open, though I have never felt uncomfortable with any of their workers. This location, with its amazing prices, is a favorite date night spot for me and my husband. My husband loves a good chair massage, but I have recently showed him the wonder of the combo package. They usually have very relaxing music, lighting that is not too bright, and a nature documentary playing. Their late hours are especially helpful for stopping by after a meal. read more

I have been here twice so far and plan to go back! If you're familiar with reflexology massage places, you'll enjoy this experience. The ambiance is better than many places I've been and they had a good amount of staff working both times I was there. There isn't a lot of verbal communication, but they do have a form for you to fill out when you arrive where you can indicate desired speed and strength. I do think there is quite a bit of variety in how each masseuse defines the numbers, though. The first massage I got was full body and I marked 1-2 in strength (out of 7) because I had a bad experience *at a different place* and didn't want to get bruised again haha. But I had to ask him a couple of times to go softer because he was really digging in. I don't recall his name, but it started with Wa. This isn't to get him in trouble because he did a good job, it was just too strong for my liking. He did understand and was careful of my knee when I told him it was injured. He'd probably be a great option if you like deep tissue! The second time I went I just did a foot massage and marked a 2. I ended up telling the gentleman, Chen, that he can do it a little harder. He smiled and held up a 3 (as to say next time ask for a 3). He did a great job and that level was just right to be effective but enjoyable. So it may take a little trial and error to find your favorite masseuse and strength level, but all it all, it's a great deal that will allow you to get the benefits of massage without the hefty price tag! read more

Relaxing it is! I was in search of a good massage and found this place on Yelp. I've been to a lot of fancy massage places (I love massages!) like Gene Juarez, Yuan Spa, etc., and I always leave a bit disappointed in the quality of massage for the price (usually about $150). I came here and was seen immediately (I believe his name was Jason). There's a screen next to the check in to show you everyone working that day and they are available or with another client and how long they have left for that service . You fill out a little sheet with your name, what you what, length of service and speed/pressure. I chose "slow" and a pressure of 5. The massage was fantastic. You keep your clothes on and are in a mini room type of thing but with no walls. No one talks and there's nice music playing and a water fountain so I really didn't even notice that I wasn't in a private room. The full body massage was $39 (plus $1 for using a credit/debit card) plus tip. When I checked out, he gave me a sheet with a coupon for $5 off my next visit as well as a water bottle. It was fantastic and I'll definitely be back. read more

I finally found my perfect massage place. Walk in to this place. You'll write your name on a sign up sheet. But I think the max you'll wait is 30 min (and this was because I came in Saturday afternoon. So probably a busy time). The price is also great. And the massage was so good. My body feels so relaxed. I wanted something with lot of pressure. And my body was really sore. The massage therapist, Wanfu was very good. I feel completely relaxed and rejuvenated. Definitely recommending to all my friends. read more

It's been a while since I've had a Chinese foot massage. Have been eyeing this place since it's somewhat close to me and finally stopped by for my first try after going bowling today. Got there around 6 on a Sunday night and they weren't busy. I got greeted by the guy (#211, I didn't catch his name) at the desk right away. He asked which type I wanted, then pointed me to the sheet for me to fill out and list my preference. There's definitely a language barrier but there are various signs around and with enough pointing, you'll get through check in just fine. The place is nice and clean. Dimly lit with soothing music playing loud enough to drown out the occasional talking (usually is to ask the client if the strength is ok, and I bet it'd work great to drown out any snoring too), but not so loud that it's distracting. The area is also pretty roomy - chairs nicely spaces and massage tables are separated by open wooden slats. It gives you a slight sense of privacy and safety at the same time. I chose the 60 min combo. #211 led me to the massage table first. That's different from the other places I've been where you get everything done at the chair. I really liked that cuz I think the massage is better on the table, plus you don't have to hear the squeaky chairs the whole time. #211 asked if his strength was ok at the beginning but continued to check in every once in a while to make sure I'm still ok. After 30 min, we moved over to the chair where I soaked my feet and then got the foot massage. #211 was friendly, attentive, and gave the massage that I needed with the perfect amount of strength to work on my sore muscles but didn't make it painful. By the time I left at 7, there was someone waiting, but I think she only had a short wait. If you have a bigger party with you (3+), you might want to call ahead since they might not have enough staff. Overall, I think this was one of the better foot massage places I've been to in the greater Seattle area. I'll definitely be back. On my way out, I saw that they have a buy 5 get 1 free deal. Might just sign up for it next time if my second massage is also consistently good. read more

Last minute appts, good when you're on vacation! Especially when you're in chronic pain on vacation!

The best massage for the best price! I get massages twice a month there and I love that you don't have to get undressed. if you get an hour massage, you're out of there in an hour and two minutes. There's a bit of a language barrier, but they make it very easy to work around. All of them do a wonderful job, but Chen is my favorite. He is always so nice and does an amazing job! read more

Chen have a very relaxing massage today. Thank you! I love coming here, very good. Such a nice day too!

I came here as a recommendation from a friend and it did not disappoint. I noticed that most of the employees spoke mandarin and only one employee spoke a little bit of English. I was unable to communicate with them since I speak Cantonese but the language barrier wasn't a problem at all. If you have a preference and want to communicate something, I would recommend using google translate to minimize miscommunication. The staff here seems really nice and it seems like the language barrier could be causing some issues in some other reviews. When you get in, there is a sign in sheet that will take your name, preferred masseuse, what type of massage you want, and customizations like pressure and speed. It was my first time there and I asked for a female masseuse named Alma. She was very friendly and smiley which made me feel at ease. I didn't give her any instruction and let her do her thing. She got all my trouble areas which are my shoulders and hips. I sit at the computer all day and didn't realize how tight my muscles were. I felt so much better after the session. I will definitely come back! read more

Love this place. Perfect spot to get a quick massage or foot rub while the kids are in lessons. It is well staffed so I've never had to wait, everyone is very friendly, and the location is so convenient! Highly recommend. read more
