    Stupid system that barely works. You have to basically pay $50 to wash and dry 3 machines. The app doesn't work properly and you have to feed the machine until it does. It's good for the owner of the business I suppose. But if you can go somewhere else and avoid this money laundering (literally) place, I would.

    Just gross and abandoned.
    Becky P.

    So much abandoned trash and filthy washers. 7 of the regular driers don't work. One left we did not try due to already losing so much money. Bless those who left notes warning of the broken machines. No quarters on site. Mobile pay is a rip off and timers run out quickly on big driers. Will never be returning.

    I came here because all the machines in my building were in use, but in the future I will wait. Not only was it filthy, but over half the dryers were not working so I ended up having to wait as others were using working ones. One of the washers looked like the door was going to pop off as it was spinning someone else's clothes. I just don't get how a business can operate without working equipment.

    Broken change machine means you need to drive miles to get quarters!

    Both sides of the change machine were inoperable and the place was a pig stye of abandoned belongings and crap all around. Who runs a business like this? The floor is filthy and hasn't been swept in weeks!

    Clean machines, low prices and a sink to was your hands if you get soap or bleach on them. The floor is a little slippery with soap film and has some dirt and could use a descent mopping. There are three different priced washing machines. $1.75 per load $2.00 per load $4.00 per load - industrial size Dryers are .25 per 7 minutes A change machine and a soap vending machine. It's pretty quiet here on Thursday and Friday nights. Kind of chilly so dress warm if you sit and wait.

    Here's some basic information: Olympic Heights Laundry is exactly what it says it is; a laundromat. Nothing more, nothing less - this is a place to clean your clothing. It is a self service laundromat with about a dozen washers & dryers. What you will find here: * Self Service Washing machines * Self Service Dryers * Change Machine * Vending Machine with usual laundry items: - Soap - Softener - Dryer Sheets * Seating for 4 people * 2 tables for folding & sorting clean clothing * 1 rolling laundry cart (there were 3 - maybe the other 2 were stolen?) Bring a book, magazine, homework, cell phone or pocket video game to keep you company while you wait for your loads to clean and dry. This isn't a child friendly place (no bathroom for changing diapers), so take care of your nature's calls before you come to do laundry. What you WON'T find here: * Restrooms * Food or beverage machines * Telephone * Games The owners are a couple fellows that come by often, tidy the place up, and keep it up pretty well - floors, machines and basic necessary maintenance from what I've seen. There are days when it gets really gross, but I'm sure it's just due to lazy, nasty customers. Mostly it is a relatively clean laundromat and the machines are usually in working order. Cost is about par with other places I've been. No surprises here - just clean clothes when you leave.

    Only 6 out of 15 dryers work.

    If you're looking for the single worst laundromat in the universe, you've come to the right place!! Where do we begin? 1) a change machine that was out of order for 6 months, and caused businesses within a 5 mile radius to put up signs that said "no change for Olympic laundromat." 2) 70% of the machines are out of order at all times, and most don't have out of order signs, so they either eat up your money, or you waste your time unloading and reloading machines, until you find one that works. So if you want to save money on health club memberships, this is the place to go for a free workout. 3) if you're lucky enough to find a machine that works, you'll probably have to improvise. Three of the dryers that actually are miraculously working, had to be taped shut with industrial tape to keep them from opening, per the attached picture. 4) absolutely, positively not one phone number anywhere, on any machine, signs, or change machine, so there's no way to provide feedback to the owner or maintenance people. 5) the prices on the same size and type of speedqueen dryers are different for identical machines. So if someone got to the machines before you did, it will cost you twice as much for the same machine. 6) call the CDC!! The guys in the white hazmat suits should show up and take a few swabs, because there may be new life forms growing in this place, per the attached pictures. Soap and water would be a start, to take off the first two or three layers, but they likely need to find someone with a work ethic and industrial chemicals to clean this place up. This laundromat establishes a new definition of rich: "he's so rich he wont even take your money when you try to hand it to him." If this guys owns the place to launder money (pun intended), he's an embarrassment to money launderers everywhere, and should lose his membership in the cartel. As far as I can tell, this guy has so much money and is so bored, that when he gets up every day at noon, and looks out over the vast blue ocean from the veranda of his thousand acre waterfront Spanish colonial estate in Hawaii, he thinks of as many ways as he can to mess with those poor working folk who have to use public laundromats - and all just for a chuckle. If you believe in democracy, and your right to vote, I respectfully you vote with your feet, and walk on over to any other laundromat on the planet. I would have hired a professional writer, but I can't afford myself.

    One of many out of service dryers.

    Half the dryers and several washers are out of service. Floor is dirty. This place needs some serious TLC.

    Broke down machines

    First time using their laundry service (dry cleaning) my King size comforter at this location…read more There is a small-ish parking lot infront of the place, but it's quite limited. Plenty of street parking infront of the shops down the street, though it is always busy and spots are always taken. The laundromat is nice and clean. Machine is clean and new. There are spots to sit and wait for your laundry, some arcade games, and they even sell slushies(?) and stuffs there if you need. For my comforter dry cleaning, it's a flat of $70+ (after tax). You drop it off and they'll tell you how long they'd need to get it done (5-6days). But you will get a text message when it's ready. I went to pick it up and decided to take a look right away. Glad I did, because it seems it wasn't cleaned right. The light-yellow ish stain from sweat wasn't even cleaned off. So i immediately showed it to the staff and they right away offered a second time dry clean for free. For this, I thought mistake/subpar quality was made but customer service to make up for it was acceptable. Would still give it another go at this location if I have anything to dry clean next time

    When my washer died I had two options while waiting for the repairs: laundromat or let the clothes…read morepile up. I chose the first option after stumbling upon other reviews for this laundromat. It's very clean, safe and the machines are new. It is a bit pricier (no quarters needed, use your credit/debit card) but worth the price. Also, free ice cream and there is also a little arcade area to waste time while waiting for your clothes. Don't have the time or desire to do laundry? They also offer one day fluff and fold!

    I rarely use laundromats. My townhouse has a perfectly fine washer/dryer stack, but when I have…read morehouseguests and have to clean a lot of sheets and comforters, I have to seek out a laundromat. West Seattle laundry definitely fits the bill. THE ROSES: Off-street parking behind the laundromat is very handy, unless you come at a peak period, it's easy to find a close in spot and not have to hump your wash a long distance. Very good selection of machines, including large (3x a regular load), and a few truly ginormous (5x a regular load) for tackling comforters. Lots of large-capacity dryers that do a very good job drying blankets, towels, etc. The staff does a good job keeping the place up. The two times I used it this week I noted very few machines out of order, and the facility was clean. I am particularly fond of their use of app-based methods to pay for your wash (PayRange). No need to scrounge quarters to run the wash; just use the app and you're good to go! THE THORNS: Occasionally you see sketchy people in the area, and sometimes they use the laundry. On my second visit some strange dude came over and tried to make conversation, then shared he *just happened* to forget to bring his laundry soap, so could I spare some money so he could buy some from the dispenser? Fortunately I was almost done, so I could just brush him off and leave. It would be nice if the management could do a better job of keeping the riff-raff out, but to be fair, this is better than most pubic laundromats I've been to. THE VERDICT: When you have a LOT of laundry to do, or need to clean bulky items, West Seattle Laundry can be your 'go-to' place! Recommend.

    Cheap washers?!? What's not to like?…read more I came to this location at the recommendation of a thread I posted on an online forum looking for cheap laundry services. I'm particular about the way I wash my clothes & quite honestly prefer to handwash them; that way, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am washing them how I feel is correct. So when I posted in the forum asking for a place I could go & wash my laundry "for the items that are too big to hand wash", West Seattle Laundrette immediately jumped off the page due to its weekly promotion for cheap washers. The largest caveat here is the staff or locals aren't overly thrilled about having newcomers coming to what they feel is their section of Seattle. I've now gone to that location twice as of today & honestly don't forsee myself returning. The first time I visited this location on July 8th, I came with open expectations as to what to expect. I travelled via public transit with my laundry in a nearly 2-hour round trip & was immediately met by some elderly Anglo-Saxon woman complaining about people being overly aggressive & how the person was insinuating that she was stealing their laundry. Her reasoning for not being the prime suspect was due to her age & race, stating, "Your clothes aren't my style." All well & good despite the fact the story allegedly stemmed from several weeks earlier & she kept making awkward eye contact with me while gossiping with another patron. Easily remedied. I put a pair of headphones on & tried my hardest not to communicate with anyone at the location. I brought everything I needed to complete my task to quarters, so I didn't see a need to engage in small talk. Today being the 2nd time, despite how off the vibe was 2 weeks ago, I returned. This time to find the entire location having its washers occupied. Bizarre, but perfectly plausible. Again, the largest caveat here is that there were only 2 people inside of the facility. Judging by the 1st visit, the insinuation is pretty clear. "You're" not welcome. I'm guessing the thought process here is "they" can sit around & wait for drugs all day; "they" can sit & wait for "us" to finish using the washing machines. Never mind the fact I don't drink or use alcohol, but these days anyone with any sort of complexion is immediately profiled. Sad but true. If you've got money, I'd suggest going somewhere else. If you don't have money, I'd suggest looking for somewhere else.
