March kicked off with a big step forward on our journey to open an indoor dog park—we toured a promising space in South Everett and got a crash course in commercial real estate along the way! Now, armed with new knowledge and excitement, we’re continuing to explore more locations in the area. One spot in particular is looking very promising, and we’re crossing our fingers for a major announcement soon—stay tuned!
A huge thank you to everyone who has filled out our online survey regarding what you want to see in our indoor dog park. Your feedback has been incredibly helpful and will play a big role in shaping both the design of our space and the services we offer. One popular request? Agility equipment—and yes, it’s definitely on our list! If you haven’t shared your thoughts yet, we’d love to hear from you. You can find the survey here: https://yourfriendlybark.com/Survey/
Looking ahead, we’re also starting to connect with local dog trainers who might be interested in teaching classes or co-hosting special events at The Friendly Bark. If you know any passionate trainers in Snohomish County who’d be a great fit, feel free to send them our way—we’d love to collaborate!
While some things are moving slower than we’d hoped (thanks to the whole “finding the perfect location” part), we’re doing everything we can to keep the momentum going. We can’t wait to bring this dream to life and build a vibrant, dog-loving community with you.
Thanks for being part of this journey—it means the world to us! 💚
