Laundry
Laundry here is difficult. The nearest laundromat is the Queen Anne Laundry Room on top of Queen Anne hill (2201 Queen Anne Ave N, Seattle, WA 98119). It is open every day from 8AM - 9PM. You are welcome to use the in-unit washer/dryer combo machine, but it really sucks at doing laundry. It is excellent at taking up valuable closet space. Please let me know if you decide to use it. There are some very important tips you must follow to make it work:
- It takes approximately five hours to complete a load. Yes, five hours. And, you cannot leave the condo with the machine running during the wash cycle, which is the first hour and a half. This is
a building rule, an insurance rule, and if the machine leaks while you're gone, you will be held liable. So please, don't leave the machine alone during the water cycles.
- Only wash very small loads.
- Only use one scoop of detergent using the given detergent and the given scoop. Guests have damaged the unit using more soap than one scoop, and it was expensive to repair.
- To ensure that your clothes will get mostly dry, you must hit the button on the far right until the display shows 2 hours dry time. Your clothes will still be damp, but mostly dry.
