Have you checked the truck stops? Do any of them offer free showers with a fillup?

Puget Sound is right there. doesn't get much freer!

I think free showers are very hard to find. I'm not sure that's realistic.

I expect the city has recreation centers and parks, some of which would include showers. For example:

Just find a public beach area. Or find a hotel with a gym. Or a gym. Usually a cheap one day trail membership is free for one time.

I live in Olympia, and I don't know a free shower, Millersavlynia (spelling?) state park has coin showers for about a dollar for 5 minutes. Good Luck!

Yes, but you can't park there without a pass.   :-/

At the truck stops, many truckers get free shower tickets when they gas up. Many are happy to give theirs away since they're not planning on using them. If you go into the truckers lounge area, there are frequently free shower tickets laying around too.

Putting a shower in your van is the best solution, and it can be done in even a low top van like mine. You are just seated while showering. It's cheap, it's easy, and there's nothing like the convenience of having a shower any time and anywhere you want one.
