Lavanderia

Good. Had to come here once.

Hours Mon-​Sun 8am-​10pm, last wash at 9
Location is near Olympic & Alvarado, across from the library and the McDonald’s.
Aside from the $ 2 card cost, prices are as follows:
+$ 3.39 for a 4 load equivalent machine
+$ 4.29 for a 5 load equivalent machine
+There are smaller washing machines, but I haven’t used them or seen the cost.
25cents/​12 minute dry – most loads, even huge 4 – 5 load washers, are dry in 24 – 36 minutes.
TVs are mostly set to Spanish speaking stations, but if it’s not busy, the lady has offered to let me switch one. There are lots of folding tables (at least 20?) and comfy leather couches to sit on.
The workers are kind and helpful; I forgot my card once and she offered me hers so that I wouldn’t have to spend the $ 2 for a new one.
Large, clean, well-​lit. Signs in Spanish and English (and some in Korean, too). Vending machines with supplies (American, Spanish, and Korean language brands), snacks, and drinks – including Mexican Coke with real sugar!
This location also provides a wash/​dry service for $ 1/​LB.
ETA: I don’t go there anymore – but I saw a sign that said they are under new management. My review might be outdated.
