Lather Daddy

Not the cleanest but I mean, you’re just washing clothes. Do you really need a 5 star laundromat?

Lather daddy has saved my life from a weekend full of never ending laundry more than once!!! I LOVE THIS PLACE! The turn around time is great and the price is amazing! I usually do their drop off service for 1.50 $ per pound, WORTH IT! I also love that they are a local business, have friendly staff, and give great service!

Huge amounts of washers and dryers, friendly staff, and clean space. I was in and out with no wait. My only complaint is there’s no designated parking (at least to my knowledge) so I had to haul two huge bags of laundry from a couple blocks away. Parking isn’t necessarily their fault, but if you’re coming with lots of laundry, maybe have someone drop you off out front!

I love this place. It’s fine as a laundromat. Clean enough, though old. Plenty of machines that work well. About on par price wise. But I just love the name, and love that it’s a gayborhood establishment. It also seems like a bunch of SU students come here.

Closed on Saturdays according the the sign on the door and the locked door really gave it away. Google and Unilocal show the business as being open on Saturday. Good news is I found a new restaurant called the Skillet Grill.

I was so disappointed with the service I received from Lather Daddy that I created a Unilocal profile to share my experience. I went to this establishment to drop off laundry and received AWFUL customer service. Some of my whites had a pinkish hue and they refused to admit any fault in the matter (I can assure you they were WHITE when I brought them in). Very rude when I brought up the issue, and they will NOT be getting any more of my business. Very unprofessional.

This place is awful. I dropped off a couple loads of clothes to be washed and have a few shirts pressed. Upon pickup I found that ALL of my whites were pink and the shirts hadn’t been ironed! It looked like they were simply hung on a hanger with the collars obviously still wrinkled. What is worse is that they didn’t immediately admit to pinking my clothes. They thought I wouldn’t notice and didn’t take responsibility for the damaged clothes. Upon complaining I was passed off to the owner who offered to do another load free of charge. Great, so I gave them another chance. THEY PINKED MORE OF MY WHITES the second time! Upon complaining I have been once again passed off and even accused of «harrassing.» This is one of the most unprofessional experiences of my life and strongly recommend AGAINST using this business!

this was a pretty easy place to stop and do laundry while i was on a road trip. the staff was kind, the place was pretty low key and quiet. loads of snacks in the vending machine, Its small and doesnt look special, but it gets the job done and it wasnt ghetto or uncomfortable.

Update: I’ve had much better service and 48 hour or less turn around time the last two times I tried. Win!
It says open till 10, yet I get here at 9:30 to drop off my laundry, and you’re closed. It isn’t the first to this place has disappointed me. Also why does it take 7 days to wash my clothes!

In Town visiting and needed to do laundry prior to our next destination. Fantastic Laudramat. Lots of washers and dryers– with Happy Hour prices in the AM. The staff, Katie and Sarah were so helpful and nice. Clean facility with rest rooms, snack machines and folding tables. You can also drop off and they will wash, dry and fold for you. Worth the price of the cab ride here from the Renaissance Hotel.

Was on a teen tour was very rude wouldn’t let us In and must tip him rude and extremely pushy

Yay! A coin-​op laundry in (near) downtown Seattle! After a week of holiday, we needed things refreshed. Had to get a cab over here but worth it. Big and quiet on Saturday. $ 2.50 for a XL washer. Another couple of bucks and you’re dry and out in an hour. Thanks Lather Daddy!

This place is a gift from the gods of Olympus.
The washer and dryer in my apartment building are tired, sad, and probably not even clean enough to wash dirty clothes… and then a couple of months ago, I found this place.
There’s always enough space for me to do a few loads without delay, and I’ve spent a happy hour or four playing the silver ball on a number of their (awesomely!) many machines, which seem to rotate with the seasons. I had been rocking Terminator like three the hard way when Monopoly was suddenly there one recent Saturday morning. I accept your challenge, Lather Daddy.
Anyway, they’re everything I could want from my neighborhood laundromat– walking distance, large, clean (including the restroom! hot damn!), and well-​equipped enough to get the job done. I’ve been meaning to try their drop-​off service, such a luxury to have somebody wash AND fold yer drawers!

Forget everything I said before about the place. It has now changed hands and the new owners raised the prices and shortened the hours so it is no longer open on weekday evenings.
Former price:
Wash: $ 2.50÷2.75
Now: $ 2.75÷3.00
Dry: 25 cents = 8 min
Now: 25 cents = 6 min
My patronage was tenuous as it was and now they have lost this customer. Especially since the evenings is usually the only time I can wash. Thankfully I have another option, and if you do too, I suggest you use it.

The most awesome laundromat I’ve ever been to. It’s nothing high class or anything. It has that Broadway, hipster feel to it and it’s much cleaner that some of the other places. I used to live a few blocks from this place so it wasn’t a big problem lugging my unmentionables down the street. I’ve since moved a few miles away and still frequent this place.
There are regulars here and it’s not uncommon for them to strike up conversations with you after a couple of encounters.
The single load washing machines and dryers are pretty old and a lot of them are out of order. If you go before 11AM washes will be $ 2 per load for wash. After that it will be $ 2.25÷2.50 and it’s 25 cents for 8 minutes of drying. Usually takes me about 1.50. The double load and triple load machines are pretty new.
They have an ATM, change machine, video games, a vending machine and tons of magazines and local newspaper. They’re also just a few blocks from Broadway if you want to grab a bite. :-) They also have a large table if you need to pull out some textbooks to study.
Minus 1 star because parking is a pain in the butt. It’s 2 hours max if you happen to find street parking and one of the meter maids is OCD in ticketing people.

I took a couple loads of laundry in for their drop-​off service, and was pleased with the results. The attendants are nice and accommodating, and I was able to have two loads of laundry washed and folded for about $ 15.
My clothes came back clean and perfectly folded. My only complaint would be that they didn’t smell all that fresh — as if they had been washed without fabric softener or something. However, considering how rank they were when I dropped them off, they had definitely been thoroughly washed.

I don’t go to laundrymats very often, but this one was close to my house and I needed to clean some comforters. From what I could tell they have 3 large capacity washers (around $ 5 /​load) and then 1 xtra large one which cost I think was about $ 7. I was able to wash a down comforter and a fluffy mattress pad in the xtra large.
They have an attendant there which I was able to ask a few questions and they were somewhat helpful– not going out of their way, but still answered all of my questions. I would probably be more lost without some help. And it’s nice to know I can just drop it off next time if I’m too lazy to sit around for a few hours.
One thing I was looking forward to was using their free wi-​fi, but I was never able to get it to work even after asking twice for the password. hmph. That’s really my only complaint though.

I think their name alone gets them 5 stars. When I first saw their name I thought it was some strange bondage place.
I’ve only used their self service facilities — and for that they were a good match for me. They have mega washers and driers for your comforter washing needs. They have plenty of seating as well as some arcade machines, and even have a functioning quarter machine. (I swear — it’s easier to find drugs than quarters in Capitol Hill…)
Solid place for all your clothes washing needs.

I like that its local and convenient, Its great to get all of your laundry done at once, and for a fee they will do it for you.
I will say that today was colored by the abhorrent customer service.
I came in to pick up some laundry my girlfriend dropped off last week and the lady behind the counter couldn’t be bothered to stop talking on the phone with a friend. I could understand if it was business related but in listening to her conversation as I had to while I waited to be recognized I am certain it wasn’t with a customer.

Got a big chunky blanket that doesn’t fit in your small condo washer?
Don’t panic, for $ 25 bucks you can drop it off at lather daddy and have a fresh, clean and fluffy blanket in a couple of hours!
They’re pretty good at following directions. I asked them to use dye, perfume free detergent and uncented softener and they did as told:)
Will be coming back!
