Not having a business location should lower their cost of operations (they are given access to the VA hall for no charge but do the work at home). I'd give four or five stars if the prices were more in line with their competition, or if the value of their work was twice as high.

She also made both me and my fiancee feel completely comfortable, safe and cared for during every visit. My second look dress is made completely of beads, making tailoring and alterations incredibly challenging. She did it perfectly speaking to her talent, attention to detail and experience. She also does not up charge for her alterations, and understands that weddings are incredibly expensive, and how impactful it is to have dress alterations not cost an arm and a leg. I cannot say enough about how incredible Svetlana is, and how her work speaks to her dedication to every person who walks in the door. Thank you for everything!!

Their professionalism and skill was borderline intimidating (in a good way). And I don't mean to imply they weren't warm; quite the opposite! I left each fitting glowing with confidence from their compliments and encouragement. As far as the work product is concerned, I was blown away. From fitting one to the final fitting, this dress was transformed. And it wasn't particularly easy -- my dress had tricky lace at the bottom that had to be hemmed without creating an ugly line. They did a gorgeous job of working around the design in a way that I actually think enhanced it overall. They showed me how to bustle the dress and let me take videos. They took a hundred photos for me. And again, the fit was perfection. In short -- get your alterations done here! You won't regret it.

I didn't think my dress needed too many adjustments at first, but looking back it was at least a size too big for me (see before pic included with this review). I was a little worried that the dress style I picked could look too nightgown-ish, but with Beam's changes it fit perfectly and looked polished and glamorous. I couldn't stop smiling at our second fitting when I saw and felt how much better it fit my body. She even made the bust work with my itty bitties (iykyk) by taking out extra fabric, remaking the shoulders, and adding the proper sized cups so I didn't even need to wear a bra. Her work is meticulous and the final product was gorgeous. She also gave me a recommendation to a quality dry-cleaner, as I bought my dress used and it had a few marks on it. She provided an itemized estimate at our first meeting and gave me the option to add additional changes later after I had time to decide whether I wanted them without pressure. She even texted me pictures of what two different types of bustles would look like on my actual dress so I could make an informed decision. Beam is talented and very sweet. She communicated clearly about her availability and always kept her appointments. I felt confident and glamorous on my wedding day, and got many compliments on my dress. I'm very happy I picked her as my wedding tailor, and I recommend her and Sunrise Couture Alterations wholeheartedly.

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.

I will never go back…read more I parked briefly in the back area to get change and returned within five minutes to a $122 ticket. My car was on, lights on, and I was in and out. You're expected to pay to park and pay to use the laundry, which was not clearly communicated. When I tried to resolve this, no one replied to my emails. They claim a five-day ticket payment policy, yet it's been weeks with zero response. Meanwhile, the fee continues to hang over you with no way to make it right. I've lived in West Seattle for years and recently moved back, and I had no idea these were the parking circumstances. The enforcement feels predatory, the communication is nonexistent, and the entire experience felt like a cash grab rather than legitimate parking management
