University of Washington Cherry Blossoms

After doing my fair share of research on photo labs in Seattle and even trying out quite a few, Panda Lab has definitely come to be one of my favorites. (It comes close down to here and another place, but Panda Lab is much closer to where I live so it has an edge.) Rang the bell, was let in right away, and then helped by a very personable and friendly worker. Process in getting my 35mm developed was extremely straightforward and smooth. Hand the roll of film over, answer a few questions, and then you're on your way! Prices seemed a little steep to me compared to places I used to go to but I came to realize this is just a city/Seattle thing and you're really not gonna find anything better. I came on a Tuesday around noon and was told to expect about a one week turnaround time but ended up getting my scans on Saturday. Reading other reviews, this seems to be the norm, so I'm guessing they'd rather overestimate and overdeliver than underdeliver and get complaints haha.

A cute photo lab which has fueled my foray back into film photography! They are quick to develop any rolls I get to them and have a ton of different options for prints and scans. I've never had to wait more than a week and I know this can easily stretch into a month at drugstores. They tend to fall on the slightly pricier side but the staff has always been super nice and it's also great to be supporting a local small business. I've gotten 4x6 prints which are high-quality -- can't wait to fill up my photo albums!

Wow! These guys are AWESOME! I recently have got back into film photography. Of course I wound up going to 2-3 different labs for development, before I found my way to Panda. I often had to wait 4+ weeks at the other places for development. Here at Panda it usually takes about 1 week! Get this... this week I dropped off film on Tues. I don't know how, but they got it to me on the next night, Wed. Also, these guys will scan it and send it to you via email if you like. What's not to like about one less trip downtown? You guys are the best!

one of my absolute favorite pictures I got developed at panda lab

I absolutely love Panda Lab. One of my favorite parts is instead of giving you a disc ( like walgreens, bartells, walmart etc..) of your scanned photos they email you a downloadable pdf with all of your photos in addition to physical copies. It's on the pricier side but I think its totally worth it for the quality of the photos and how fast they are able to develop them. I wont go anywhere else to get my film developed.

Scan

I have been going to Panda Labs for over 5 years and they have always done nice work. If you can drop off on a Monday, you usually have your scans by Friday. I do scan and email typically. They can develop E6. (I believe the only place in the state. I have tried other labs in the area and the scans either have issues with magenta highlights or extreme dust and grain, sometimes chemical blotches. Panda Labs has always been perfect. This is the best and most professional lab in the area. To anyone who has had a bad experience, this is a professional lab. Be specific with your instructions and Panda Labs will always come through.

This place is amazing. Right as I entered, I was greeted by a very kind woman at the counter. She soon realized I had never experienced having my films developed before, so, she took the time to answer all my questions and confusions, with patience. She was so so helpful and informative. I turned my roll in on Monday, and got my scans by Wednesday.... They only took TWO days to develop my film for me. I was so pleased. Overall, my first time experience there was outstanding. I really recommend coming here. The customer service and timing is excellent.

I've been looking into a few other photo developers in the Seattle area and honestly haven't found anyone better. Panda has attentive staff who genuinely care about your film. It's nice that my 36 exp costs the same as a 24 exp roll, though high resolution scanning costs an additional $10/roll which definitely adds up. Places like these are becoming scarce and if you've ever had a blank roll returned to you from those drugstore developers (I'll just call them FAILmart) then I suggest Panda.

I got 35mm film developed and scanned here and it turned around great, with a relatively quick turnaround time.
