Empire Speed Wash Laundromat

With a family of 8 spending time in Seattle prior to a cruise, we desperately needed a laundry mat. In searching all over downtown, we couldn't find anything that was self service, close to our hotel, or easily accessible. We search high and lo, expanded our search until we found Empire.

While not necessarily close to downtown, it is located right at the Othello stop on the light rail. We sayed only blocks from the West Lake stop. This made it super easy to get to Empire.

Once there, the equipment was new/newish and well maintained. It was clean and well attended to. Change machine on-site made it easy as well.

For anyone in the downtown area, this is a great option. Convenient to local transportation, clean, good equipment.

Highly recommend.

This place is clean, quiet, & convenient. There is, thank God, a cash machine, but no atm. They have good hours and there is always an attendant

Of course my washer broke and it's always inconvenient when that happens. Lugged a heavy wet load into a big bucket and off I went in search of a laundromat. Tried going to the one closest to me - Rainier & Kenyon - couldn't find parking (there's like maybe 6 spaces max and those are probably used by people frequenting the businesses next door). Then down to King Donut - nope, laundromat's closed, dunno if it's because of COVID. Next was Empire Speed. Easy to find, the parking lot was super tight but turnover high on a Friday night. I parked in the handicapped anyway. In my frantic getaway, I'd forgotten to bring quarters. Well, a nice fellow waiting for his laundry was happy to point me in the right direction, right in front of the entrance. Plunked in my $3.25 for a quick wash, went and sat in the car and headed back 15 minutes later. The place was clean, organized and moderately busy; as far as I could tell, only one machine was out of service. Guess I know where to come now until my washing machine gets fixed. Thanks, Empire Speed Wash!

Hiya There

Staff on site ensures machines always work , place is clean, no unruly guests or kids running around. We've come here for years off and on. Week ago we traveled on 2 buses and train to come here because it's a safe, clean, awesome, affordable space with staff there to ensure it. We have loved this laundry mat for a long time.. Want a good chuckle? Read the sign on the north wall above the dryer s 😂. Keep up the good work owners. We often do blankets that need washed here then rder to go from Domino's across the street a cheap 6$ each 2 pizzas after and head home. Nice location accessible right across from Othello 1 line stop and bus stops are in front of here to. Overpriced tacos right next door if ya like ;)

They have plenty of machines. They are the quarter style so it takes a handful to use the big washers. There is a change machine though.
