About Lynnwood Honda

Lynnwood Honda has been providing sales and service excellence ever since the halcyon days of the motorcycle era, when Honda Motor Company pleaded with their dealers to sell "the little economy car." We have since grown to one of the largest Honda dealerships in the Seattle area. We have an award winning service department and the largest parts department in the Pacific Northwest.

The Nelson family is part of a long tradition of automotive sales in the Pacific Northwest. It starts in 1922 when Stanley Nelson Sr. started Nelson Chevrolet in Ballard, WA. His son, Fred Nelson, followed him into the automotive industry in 1935. Fred eventually moved on from Nelson Chevrolet to open his own Chevrolet store, Fred Nelson Chevrolet in Sedro Wooley. After many successful years with Chevrolet, Fred purchased Lynnwood Honda. The legacy is carried on by Fred's son and daughter, Erik Nelson and Wendy Nelson Popke, who have been working in the business since 1984 and currently oversee operations at Lynnwood Honda. From the earliest days in 1922 the Nelson have always held the belief that providing a friendly, trustful atmosphere in which to sell and service cars will result in the reward of loyal customers.

Environmental Stewards

Lynnwood Honda is proud of the fact that we generate zero hazardous waste products because we are firm believers in recycling.

• Antifreeze – Recycled

• Brake fluid –Recycled

Storm Water- We collect all storm water runoff from our parking lots. This runoff can have oils from vehicles parked on our facility. This runoff is stored in an underground containment system and then dispersed through a bio filtration swale to remove all impurities, in a natural way, prior to the water entering the public storm system and flowing into the Puget Sound.

Car Wash - As part of our superior service all service vehicles are washed prior to being returned to their owners. Our car wash utilizes a water recirculation system. This system greatly reduces the amount of water consumed with each wash cycle.

Lot Lights - to conserve energy we recently switched all the outdoor lot lights to low voltage LED’s resulting in an energy savings of 10%.
