About
Our Story
Tropical Tan began with a single salon in Shoreline, Washington, back in 1982. Our founders created a welcoming space where people could relax, recharge, and glow with confidence in a sunlight sanctuary.
We’ve grown to 13 locations across King and Snohomish counties—but remain fiercely local, family-owned, and committed to wellness and technology-driven results.
Our promise is simple: top-tier technology, ethical products, and service so personal, you’ll feel like family.

A Message From Our Founder
“From the first day we opened, it was always about creating an environment that made people feel great — inside and out. We're not just here to deliver tans. We're here to deliver a tranquil sanctuary where people can come to get away and relax in a peaceful environment."
