About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Sunday in Seattle, a delivery driver pulled up to BKD Express Laundromat. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something peculiar: the washing machines were humming an old folk song. Curious, he leaned closer and recognized the tune as ‘Home on the Range.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman emerged from behind the counter, smiling warmly and saying, “Morning, everyone! Coffee’s fresh today.” The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly—maybe it was just another one of BKD’s quirky traditions.

2. At midnight on a Thursday, a delivery driver pulled up to BKD Express Laundromat with a puzzled look. ‘Why is there always a stack of quarters outside?’ he asked himself aloud. As he bent down to pick them up, an old lady from across the street waved and said, 'Honey, those are for you! I thought your machine was too expensive.' The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, realizing that kindness often comes in unexpected ways.

3. At dawn one Friday, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled into BKD Express Laundromat for a quick coffee break. As he dozed off leaning against the counter, something strange happened: every time someone dropped coins into the washing machines, they played old-timey jazz tunes instead of modern ditties. The next morning, a curious neighbor noticed the music and came in to investigate. Turns out, an ancient jukebox hidden behind the machines had been activated by the exact rhythm of quarters hitting the dispensers. The owner decided to leave it as is, turning BKD Express into a quirky local attraction where everyone hummed along while their clothes got clean.

4. At dusk one Monday, a delivery driver pulled up to BKD Express Laundromat and noticed something odd: a small dog peeking out from behind the washing machines, its tail wagging excitedly as if it had found a hidden treasure. Curious, he approached gently, and the little dog bounded towards him, leading him through the maze of washers and dryers. Behind the last machine, the driver discovered a pile of neatly folded clothes—someone’s forgotten laundry left overnight. The dog, apparently the neighborhood watchdog, was protecting his owner's belongings with unwavering loyalty.
