As part of her birthday gift, my cousin and I went to get some massages after a day of crafting/art. Their hours are very convenient - staying open until 10pm - making it possible to schedule other things during the day, have dinner and then still have time for an hour long massage! If you're not familiar with these types of massage stations - most are like this one where the space is divided into different sections - some for two people, some for 4 people and then a row of reclining chairs. You are assigned a masseuse and then taken back to your area. They give you a bin to place your jacket, purse/bags and they place it under your massage table where you can see it while you are laying down. You stay fully clothed, and they place a thin blanket over you for during the massage. When you sign in you are asked what areas you'd like the masseuse to focus on. I chosen my back and shoulders. If you choose the same focus - I'd recommend wearing something sleeveless to make it easier and more effective for your masseuse to work your arms, neck and shoulder areas. The price is reasonable, especially in this economy! And because it's reasonable, I always tip very well. These masseuses work hard and really put their whole body into it! These are not the wimpy, spa kind of massages...these are the nice, strong kind with good pressure that really really melt your stress away! Although, you do have the chance to tell them at check-in what level of pressure/intensity and pace you prefer. So if you prefer a slower, more gentle massage they can do that too! left feeling renewed and refreshed! And plan to visit again. Super convenient Ballard location with easy parking. Well, at least when we came in the evening. read more

Really enjoyed ourselves! Great communication and a fun spot for a group. Will come back for sure!

I walked in for a full body 60 minute massage around 2pm on a Monday. The wait was less than 15 minutes. They have a comfortable couch to wait on and everything was clean and bright, the music was relaxing and not annoying. You leave on your clothes and they put a towel on your back to provide a slippery surface for the massage. She wore gloves too. Face down on a table. Emma was my masseuse, she was fantastic. I asked for 3 on a scale to 10, for medium to light pressure. It was perfect. She was well trained and confident in her strokes. I will be read more

I give this a 10 out of 10! The staff was great and responsive. My feet haven't felt this good in quite a while. Both my wife and myself felt very comfortable and plan on going back asap read more

Best massage I've had in Seattle! Clean space, they took me right away and Dong had the best pressure! I came in in a lot of pain and felt so much better when I left. I will be back to see Dong for sure! read more

Nice massage for the price. Just make sure to communicate the strength and speed when you check in and don't be afraid to tell them to change if needed. read more

I love this place. I have had a great experience every time I've been here. All the practitioners that have worked on me are solid. The only thing that is hard and keeps me from coming back more frequently is the overpowering scent of fabric softener. It's so overwhelming. I think they have toned it down a little. I used to have to wash my clothes twice to get the smell out, now I can wash it out with one cycle. If they toned it down a bit more, I would be back weekly and would give 5 stars. read more

My first visit to the Relaxing Station in Ballard, and it was fabulous. I had Dong work on me - he was amazing, but I believe all the massage therapists there are equally good. iI chose the Combination - 30 mins full body and 30 mins Reflexology. I plan on going there regularly and will definitely introduce my friends to it as well. Do yourselves a favor and go visit them! read more

Clean Asian massage place. Ok prices. Good signs to deal with language barrier. Sign in sheet let's you specify pressure and speed. Free water bottles. Good quality massage. Weirdly their body massage was all clothed with no oil. I want bareback! read more

Relaxing Station - Pricing - Massage Near Me - Seattle, Washington

For $35 an hour you can get one of the best massages in Seattle. The space is so clean and everyone we've had so far has been friendly, attentive and professional, and they've all given an excellent massage. I highly recommend Anine, Marie and Jim. They offer foot massages on reclining chairs, full body massages on beds and chair massages for head, shoulders and back. They speak mostly Chinese so you may want to use a translator for any special requests, but they have you fill out a form indicating if you want a fast or slow, hard or soft massage before they begin. Incredible experience. Please tip well because they deserve it read more

In short, the service outweighed the price. I initially ordered a 1-hour full body massage and a 30-minute foot massage for just $56. The experience was so good that I added another 30 minutes for the foot massage. The technician (ID: 457) was friendly and highly skilled, especially with the foot massage read more

Went for a 30 minute foot massage dinnertime midweek. Chose the middle option of intensity, the entire thing felt amazing. Only one point when masseuse was pushing a knuckle into my sole did it come close to uncomfortable but still good. $25 + tip = money well spent. read more

My favourite massage ever! So affordable and such a pleasant experience. Everyone here is really thoughtful and attentive to whatever you ask for. Special shout out to Sunny, he's amazing. read more

I really appreciate how they have a sign-in sheet that specifically asks about pressure (1-7) and speed (very slow--fast). I always thought it would be incredibly helpful when I went to previous massage places in the I.D., so I love that they have this! I've been here a few times, and this place is worth it. At this point, the only thing preventing me from giving 5 stars is the consistency in pressure. We've gone three times so far. I chose a 3-pressure the first time, and the last two times, I chose a 1. On the second visit (or my first time requesting a 1), the pressure was still too hard (it felt more like a 3+), so I was slightly disappointed. On the most recent visit, though, I was VERY happy with the pressure and felt that it matched a 1 (worth noting that I was a little more vocal about wanting 'very soft/1' pressure. read more

Got a super relaxing massage both times I visited, most recently with Danny. Great value for all the little perks and clean setting.

Loved it! Very nice massagers and did everything so well I felt reborn. Definitely recommend it.

My mom and I are visiting from NY and we stopped by Relaxing station mid trip to rejuvenate ourselves with foot massages after ALOT of walking. Mike and Lucy attended us and they were AMAZING from the minute we walked in we were perfectly assisted. I wish we had this kind of service back home but still a nice to know for future visits. Thank you Mike and Lucy! read more

There's one woman here that is a decent masseuse...the rest of the staff have no idea what they're doing. If you get one of the men, hold on for dear life. I asked for medium pressure and was hurt over and over again throughout my session. Everytime I I said "ouch!", the guy laughed. Then one of the women laughed when she walked by. I asked several times for softer pressure, but he'd say "ok, ok", but would continue punching my legs, back, and feet. I'm 60 and don't need a man pounding on my body. I'm sure I'll have bruises tomorrow. Do yourself a favor and go to a real masseuse...I'm not sure these people have and real training. read more

My favorite reflexology business! Modern, super clean, great service, amazing prices. 9.5/10. My only feedback is that it's too bright and can be loud sometimes which slightly takes away from the relaxing portion of the experience. read more

My massage was so wonderful, it's always a let down when a massage isn't strong enough, and this was great. #418 thank you

I've visited 3 times and each time has been great! I had a full body table massage by Nina and she is fantastic! I definitely recommend this place--you won't be disappointed! read more

Great massage packages and pricing. You respect the package, level of intensity, and areas of focus on the sign in sheet. Massages are in cubicle-like areas separated by screens for some privacy. Will return when I'm in the area. read more

I went there for my very first time today. Everything is super clean. It's nice and quiet, with relaxing spa type music. I was greeted with a bottle of water and a sheet with the level of pressure and speed you want. I picked two. Because I'm kind of a baby when it comes to the shoulders. I got the combo of the table and the foot/leg reflexology. It was fantastic and amazing for the price. No, not everybody speaks fluent English. But there is no lack of communication. She asked if it was too rough at one point and I said it's a little bit. Could you go a little softer and she said softer and then did softer. So communication is not an issue. It was just so relaxing! And at this price point, I can go a lot more often. I suggest you give it a shot if you've never. read more

I've been looking for an alternative to my usual Chinese massage place, since they raised their rate a lot. Really happy I found this place. Not sure if their prices will always be this low, but I paid $21 for a 30 minute table massage (I tipped generously because that rate does not feel sustainable for a business located in Ballard). As is typical, there is a big language barrier- you fill out a card specifying your preferred level of pressure (1-7). I chose 6 because Chinese massage like this is really effective with a lot of pressure, if you can tolerate it. You stay fully clothed- they put a blanket on top of you and massage you through that, while wearing gloves. For a quick tune up massage like this, I prefer this to getting all oiled up on bare skin. They are still able to use friction to generate heat and get you loose and stretched. This place is very clean and spacious. They were pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon, but hopefully word of mouth will bring them more business. There is a similar spot right across the street. read more

Love the experience!! Highly recommend if you want to a good message where you can choose the level of strength that suits your need. Great price and great service. Also recommends my message therapists No.422!! read more
