Start with Seven Lakes Dental, then go to Seven Lakes Chiropractic and Massage and finish at Hidden Vines Wine Bar, all in the plaza at 17317 27th Ave. NE, Marysville.

Dentists Brad Larreau and Steven Thomas used to have competing offices on the same street. They used to refer patients to each other because of their respective specialties. Larreau works with braces and oral surgery, while Thomas’s specialty is root canals. They were friends at church and decided to merge. After that they added Lupita Fernandez to the team. All three have general practices, too.

A total of 16 employees work there. The business has seven rooms, and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, closing at 3 p.m. Fridays.

Chiropractor Ken Shotwell has had offices in the Arlington area for about 10 years, after working in Ballard for 25. He and his wife, Kathy, split time between there and home, which is the Arlington Equestrian Center. They work in Smokey Point Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and in their spare time care for horses and golden retrievers.

His wife loves horses, and fell in love with the facility in 2001. He tired of the commute quickly, so he sold the business there and has been here ever since.

“I’m the boss, but she’s in charge,” he said with a smile.

They decided on this newest spot because of all the traffic, businesses and developments that are going in nearby. Shotwell said he has a solid customer base here, but that he also gets many of his old customers from the Ballard area.

“It’s funny how they gravitated out here,” he said.

Also in the office is a massage therapist and a puppy therapist, a golden lab named Beanie Baby.

Kirk and Mardy Greenhalgh of Lake Goodwin own the wine bar. It is their first venture into business as Kirk was retired from the county road department, and his wife was working in corporate America.

“We’re as green as can be,” she said.

“I’m not retired anymore,” he added. “We’re here all the time.”

The business is open 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, closing at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and also having a Sunday brunch. Friday nights are usually packed, and they are having their first band perform there March 28.

They have a staff of one full-time chef and four part-time servers. The business sells appetizers, sandwiches, salads, soups and desserts, along with bottled wine, three beers on tap, house wine on tap.

They decided to open the business because, “It’s a growing area, and there’s nothing like it so there’s a definite need,” Mardy said. “People want a nice place to meet friends and have some good wine. We’re not your everyday chain.”

Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring and the Marysville-Tulalip Chamber of Commerce celebrated the opening of the three businesses with ribbon cuttings March 18.
