I'm not going to write a huge, long review. I do my laundry here. Sometimes it's just once a month, sometimes it's more. The people running this facility obviously care about it because I never see a machine broken and they are always cleaning the machines. There is never garbage on the floor and it's always spotless. I like that they have a restroom, even thought I have never had to use it before. Most places don't. Usually I just come in, throw all my laundry in the large machine and go from there. Sometimes it's busy, sometimes it's not. I don't come on the weekend because I don't want to deal with that but there have been weekdays when it has been very busy but it has never stopped me from getting any washers or dryers. I do like to use numerous dryers at once but if it gets busy sometimes it just takes me a little time to get everything dry. I wish the dryers were a little hotter, but what are you going to do? The owners and staff are no nonsense, but they have never been rude. The other customers have always been friendly to me so that's always a plus. The best part is that they use a card system so you don't have to worry about finding quarters!! I'll never go anywhere else! read more

clothes were drying and owner made me take them out early while they were damp exactly at 10pm other laundromats give you courtesy . Mind you I came at 7pm and had lots of clothes read more

They do things different now maybe I've been out of it for a while. You have to take your credit or debit card and put it on to a laundry card. And then you use that laundry card or the machines. You can put any amount you want onto the laundry car. Someone load to wash $3.75 the biggest load they have is $11.50 and about 50 cents for 7 minutes to drive. You can't buy any supplies with your debit card or your laundry card you have to have cash which is a detriment. I don't carry cash. So make sure you bring your soap with you. This place is located in a quiet part of West Seattle during the week hardly any traffic maybe four people washing in any given time and they have a TV and they have a lot of chairs but also very bad they have no bathrooms here. So after this I think I'll just do laundry at home. read more

Clean and the people maintain and take pride in KEEPING IT clean & safe! Very grateful for this place

Been here twice now and I have zero complaints! There's always someone there to help & is keeping the place clean. I like the newer machines, which are also clean!! No lugging around a bunch of quarters, and if you give the machine a $20 bill you get $22 on the card provided to operate the machines! I have had no problem with getting access to the machines I want to use, and plenty of seating too... read more

While on vacation, my partner and I need to do a load of wash between the clothes for running, hikes and undergarments it piled up quickly. A&B was a short walk away from our Airbnb. I believe this is the first laundromat I have used a card at. There are machines that take cash to load up amounts for the washer and dryer. The laundromat is clean, prices were clearly labeled and my clothes came out fresh! It opens at 7am and last wash is at 8:30. If I lived in West Seattle, I think this would be my go to spot. read more

I was there before 9 pm and the man working told me no more, and was very rude. If they are not open then they need to change there posted hours. read more

Laundromats are pretty standard, I think what sets laundromats apart from others are the individuals working the floor, especially at night. Be careful that last wash is 8:30pm (Monday), obviously this wasn't expressed to me the night before (Sunday) or you won't be able to wash; EVEN IF ITS JUST A SIMPLE ONE LOAD WASH. I walked in 8:32pm and the lady working stopped me from using the washer machine when there are already three other families waiting on their loads with 15 more minutes and need to dry. Trust me, one load of wash and no drying will get me out faster than the rest of these families. Suggestion, stay true to your opening times and not trying to rush people out an hour earlier than your posted close times because you want to go home early. Better yet, it's the weekday; start cleaning and moping earlier and leave a single row for people coming in late. Other than that; price is fairly reasonable for West Seattle. I prefer PT LAUNDRY in Kent, WA because they know how to treat you right; and it's significantly much cheaper. read more

I like this laundromat, its a little old, but the price is reasonable and the machines clean well. Its actually pretty big and theres a lot of machines so you usually dont have to worry about not getting a washer or dryer. Although I should warn you to never go to any laundromat on a Saturday or sometimes Sunday afternoons/monings, theres A LOT OF PEOPLE. Theres always someone on duty and the floors are usually dry and theres no garbage lying around. Its close to little stores and convenient for yourself especially if you come early in the morning and your hungry, theres usually a store open to give you a snack, if you dont want to walk somewhere while your clothes are washing, they sell little snacks there too. Overall, we come here often when we have the time to, and we clean 2 weeks of clothes for 2 adults and 1 toddler (WHICH IS A LOT) considering my husband works in a factory and I work in a restaurant and a child who pees himself through his diapers often: takes about 1 1/2-2 hours to complete including folding. See you there! read more

This review is just for their AMAZING same day drop off/pick up service. I was in a really rough spot about six weeks ago where I was stuck without a working washer and dryer and I had a mountain of laundry to do. I took garbage bags full of clothes to A&B where the incredible women who work there calmly weighed everything, gave me the price, and told me I could pick it up in a few hours. When I picked up our clothes, everything was perfectly clean, dried, and delicately folded (socks matched, underwear folded into tiny squares, shirts and sweaters folded with sleeves in, etc.). I was so happy, I wanted to cry. They made a really stressful time in my life WAY less stressful and I am so grateful for that. I've used their drop off/pick up service again since then and it's always been fast, efficient, and friendly. You can pay with cash or card, but bring cash for a tip--they deserve it! read more

This is my go to laundromat! Every Sunday my husband and I go here with our daughter! They have TVs through out with cartoons so she can be entertained! We get there early enough where it is not too busy and we can get a lot of the washers and dryers at the same time making our visit shorter! The prices are great, making it not an expensive trip! We also talked to the woman about dropping or laundry off and she would wash and fold for us! It was not too expensive per pound either! The woman who works there is always moving around on the floor keeping the place clean and is so helpful with any questions! read more

1. I caught these guys refilling tide bottles with cheaper no name cleaners and putting them back on the shelf. 2. The 5 washing machines I used today stopped 3 minutes before the timer did. They charge .25 extra for extra extract but instead of extra the machines actually stop early. 3. I asked the attendant to talk to the owner and the owner tried to tell me I wasn't actually getting what I paid for I was getting what the previous user had selected. I said that isn't righ and that is bait and switch, fraud and probably several other things. He proceeded to tell me I didn't understand, that I was confused and that I just needed to keep quiet. All I asked for a $1.50 refund and he told me to leave, and that I was not welcome here. 4. Since I was onto one scam I loaded another load and checked the hot water temp with a digital temperature guage. 90 degrees is hot. These guys rip patrons off in every possible way. Why am I here. I am remodeling a laundry room and just wanted to wash clothes but ended up uncovering a scam. The majority of the users in this place are non english speaking minorities. I guess its ok to rip them off? I am also filing a better business bureau complaint. This owner needs to be prosecuted read more

A & B Laundromat - Rip off report - Laundromat Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is only the second laundromat I have tried out in White Center, but I was so pleased with my first time at A & B that since then I have not frequented any other laundromat in the area. There are plenty of washers and dryers, several places to sit, a couple of TV monitors, and a staff member who maintains the cleanliness of the laundromat. The parking lot does tend to fill up, but there is street parking available. Other conveniences: a currency changer machine that accepts $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills for quarters; a beverage machine that sells soda and water for $0.85; and a counter that sells a variety of snacks for $0.85. Detergent and dryer sheets are also sold. Also, a double load costs $2.25, a triple load costs $3.75, and dryers cost $0.25 for 7 minutes. Another plus: Full Tilt ice cream is just two streets down on 16th street. So take my recommendation and wash your clothes at A & B, then treat yo'self to some ice cream while your clothes dry. To evenly paired socks at the end of the dryer cycle, cheers! read more

Very clean with lots of machines. Have a laundry card system so you don't need to mess with quarters. The laundry card machine takes cash or credit card. read more

This place is actually clean and somewhere that I don't have to worry about someone stealing my clothes. I had to use this laundromat a couple of time when my dryer broke and I was pleasantly surprised. There is always an attendant on duty so if you have an issue someone is there to help. I will be back when I have a need to wash some bedding that will not fit in my machines at home. read more

Very clean!! In less than 2 hours we had washed a total of 12+ regular loads of laundry for about $25!!

This place is nothing fancy, but it has plenty of machines of all sizes, so no one seems to ever wait for a machine. I came in at noon on a Sunday when it was fairly crowded and had no problem getting three triple-load machines all next to each other. (Yeah... I had been procrastinating on laundry for a while.) The machines are older but well-kept and about $1 less than I was paying in Ballard. There's a change machine, vending machines for laundry supplies and canned soda, and a few snacks and sundries for sale behind the counter. The only thing that takes it down to 4 stars is that there isn't much seating (compared to how many machines are available). Still, I'd rather stand than wait for a machine. WiFi would have been nice, but I have my Kindle and data on my phone, so I lived. read more

This is the best laundromat I've been to in Seattle. I live in Georgetown and the laundromats close to hear suck so bad. I came to A&B Laundry around noon on a Sunday. There were plenty of washers available and attendant opened the door for me and helped me in with all my bags. The machines are nice and new, they don't randomly eat quarters. They are the big awesome high capacity washers and dryers. There is plenty of signage around and clear instructions for using the machines. The dryers are the same. The place is clean and well kept. There is even a little counter where they sell regular sized bottles of detergent and dryer sheets. There are plenty of rolling laundry bins. There are even chairs placed for the folding tables. There aren't smelly bums drinking beer and oogling girls. It's well light and comfortable. Seriously, if you are used to doing laundry in White Center area, this place is a breath of fresh air. read more

Basic and clean Laundromat with industrial coin operated washers and dryers. There is a change machine for increments of $1, $5, $10, & $20. There are about 4 different sized industrial washing machines (but multiple quantities of each) each size has a different price point. My medium sized load was $3.25, kinda expensive I thought. There are also two different sized industrial dryers that dried my load in about 40 minutes for about $1.25. Total cost about $4.50 for one large load of clothes. There is a nice guy that might own the place, hanging out, cleaning up, making sure there is no trouble. He also will sell you detergent, laundry sheets, and maybe a bag of chips if you need that kind of thing. There is a soda machine and plenty of places to sit and a TV. And there is a parking lot. Pretty basic, pretty clean, pretty good place to wash your clothes. read more

I only need to use a laundromat once and a while for large comforters, the dog bed etc. There is one near my house in West Seattle, but I have found it to be less than clean with no one staffing it. I took a chance and drove a little further to A&B Laundromat and I was very pleasantly surprised! A very nice attendant helped me and the place was spotless! Will be back! read more

For the area, and going off of the other laundromats in the area this one is by far the best one, it is fairly priced there are on duty staff and they keep the place really clean all the time. Washers and dryers both smell good and don't have any of that mildew smell! All around the best place in the area my opinion! read more

This is the best laundromat ever. They always keep everything super clean, even the bathroom. One of the attendants even showed me how to fold my fitted sheet. read more

I usually only need a laundromat when it's time to clean my large comforter. The last time I cleaned it, (at a different laundromat in Burien) I noticed that there was a lot of garbage trapped behind the ventilation holes in the dryer. My comforter was tumbling in other people's trash! It turned my stomach. After reading reviews, I decided to give A & B a try and I've found my new Laundromat. The entire place was clean and the dryers were spotless. I highly recommend A & B. read more

Brand new machines, super clean place, and you don't have to use coins at this place. Plenty of machines so didn't have to wait around. Everything you could want from a self service laundromat. read more

We had pillows and a comforter to wash, and needed a commercial machine. The great Yelp reviews guided us here...and are they right! We were immediately met by an attendant. When we said it was our first time here, he guided us to the best machine, gave us a quick tutorial, showed us the payment process, grabbed us a cart and even loaned us some tennis balls to help make our pillows extra fluffy! Quick, easy, and wonderful service. We'll be back! read more

My first visit ever to a laundromat. I am glad to say that it wasn't as awkward, tense or boring as television makes it seem. I think it has a lot to do with the large amounts of machines in various sizes. The nice clerks at the desk also made this experience wonderful. They saw that I looked confused and without hesitation or an attitude took the time to help me and explain how everything worked. There are plenty of places within walking distance to find food (zippys is next door!) and a void of creepy people loitering around. read more

The Airbnb I was staying at did not offer a washer and dryer, so I came to this place to do my laundry. They make you buy a card for $20 and do not offer a refund for the amount you do not use. Not a very good place if you are traveling because you end up having yo give the card away or just sucking it up and giving them free money. read more

It's been aong time I've used laundry place and this place is clean, and the lady there is so nice she even walked me thru the process hehe. Since our apt doesn't have washer/dryer in our unit this is the place to go. Thumbs up for cleanliness which is important to me since it's for the public. read more

This is a great little laundromat. I haven't been to one in a long, long time but I drive by a lot (which makes me glad that I don't have to use them regularly). However, A & B is clean, has lots of machines, and a really great attendant. As far as laundromats is concerned, I can definitely recommend A & B Laundromat. Extra bonus: lots of Hispanic eateries within walking distance. read more

Solid laundromat. Lots of dryers, staff is helpful. Owner is a bit standoffish as this is an investment business for him, but it appears he's putting money into the machines and keeping the location clean. Overall a good outfit and it's next door to Zippy Burgers a major plus. read more

The man who works here is so nice and helpful. The machines are big and clean and work well. There is a change machine and detergent dispenser and everything you need. This was a very positive experience. read more
