Hello, and thanks for reading this prior to your first appointment at my new location.

Sandpiper Massage has moved to 111 Sunset Ave N. Here’s what to expect at my new location.

Street and public parking only. This building does not have any designated parking, which means you will have to use street parking or public parking lots. If you are unfamiliar with Edmonds, try starting your search for street parking north of the building either on Sunset Ave, Bell St or Edmonds St. The closest public parking lots are located at Brackett’s landing (the beach north of the ferry) and the Edmonds Waterfront Center (adjacent to my old building on Railroad Ave.). Both are within a 5 minute walk from my building.

I am temporarily allowing clients who experience a parking challenge to arrive up to 5 minutes late and still receive their full treatment time, but please plan accordingly.

Standing room only in the lobby. The shared lobby is a quiet space, and avails you to a sweeping view of the sound, however, there is no seating. Please end conversations prior to entering the building.

I’m ready to start if my door is open. Feel free to come in if my door is open. Do not knock on the door if it is closed.

The train is loud. I’m next to the train tracks. Please expect passing freight trains to be loud. So far I have had anywhere between zero and three trains pass during a single session. If you think you might have trouble tuning the train out, help yourself to a pair of earplugs.

Bright windows. I’m so happy to have a treatment room with windows, not to mention a view of the sound. If you are sensitive to light I have a couple options - I can either fold a soft pillowcase for you to place over your eyes, or draw the blackout curtains while you’re here. The window coverings are one-way blinds, allowing us to look out, but no one to look in.

You might meet my dog. Asuka (sounds like “Oss-ka”) will sometimes spend the day with me at the office. She is polite and expected to relax in her designated place while you are here, and exit the room with me when I leave. You do not have to interact with her, but if you’d like to say hi you can. She is not hypoallergenic.

I will let you know the day of your appointment if Asuka is here. This is the information I’ll send you. If you have questions or concerns about my dog being present, please contact me prior to your appointment.

I invite you to give me your input.

I like knowing about your experience and am open to hearing anything you want me to know, especially considering all the recent changes. If you’re not able to give me your input during your appointment, you can reach out by email or text message.

Email me annika@sandpipermassage.com or text my business phone 425-245-4257.

Thanks!
