Westside Coin Laundry

They’re located near the corner of North Bend Rd. and Westwood Northern Blvd. My dryer went on the blink so I stopped in this morning to dry a load of clothes. For $ 1.50 I got about 50 minutes of drying time. It’s a relatively clean facility with plenty of washers & dryers. I didn’t speak to the woman who seems to be working there but she seemed friendly enough. This location is convenient and I’m glad they’re so close to home. Until I get a new dryer I’ll continue visiting this spot.

Westside Laundry is in a small strip mall near the corner of North Bend and Westwood Northern. The place is unassuming and I’ve passed by for years. I have a washer and dryer at home, so little need for a laundromat. With a bunch of teenagers and a preschooler in the house plus working full time, something had to give and for me, laundry is my nemesis. I started taking my dirty laundry to laundromat offering drop off service. Westside Laundry is the third place I tried.
Number one: the place is clean. The machines are older, in fact the entire place is older, but it is immaculately clean.
Number two: It’s a busy place. There’s always someone there doing their clothes. It seems like a place with a lot of neighborhood characters, coming :/​to do some laundry and jaw with the employees and other customers.
Number three: the drop off service CANNOT be beat! I’ll bring in three or four garbage bags of clothes. One day later I pick up all my clothes, amazing great, folded nearly, hung, ironed even. The socks are sorted. None of the other places I’ve gone have taken such care with my clothes. I love that I can ask them to sort out specific items. My preschooler has grown out of his size 4 underwear and I asked them to set ask the size 4 undies aside. No problem! I ask for my red, black, out white scrubs to be hung on hangers but the blue ones to be folded? Sure!
Number four: the price for laundry is 95 cents a pound. I’m not kidding! There’s a drop off service on the east side that charges $ 1.50 per pound. This place is worth driving across the city with a minivan full of laundry. Luckily for me, it’s almost in my back yard.
Number five: there’s a cute little homemade shrine to the Maytag Man. Shrine is probs too fancy a description, but I love looking at it. I smile every time I see it.
