About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was folding his shirts in the Queen Anne Laundry Room, he heard someone whisper: 'Your clothes are cleaner than your secrets.' Curious, he looked around but saw no one. Since then, some say that late at night, if you leave a note with your laundry, it comes back with unexpected advice.' One evening, a delivery driver left a package of dirty socks along with an envelope containing his latest failed love letter. Next morning, his clean socks came back with a handwritten note: ‘Wear these with confidence—your heart knows exactly what to do.’

2. One day, while hanging up towels, a regular noticed something odd: every time he pulled out a fresh towel from the stack, it had an identical crease right where someone else’s initials were pressed. Curious, our regular asked around and discovered that each employee leaving for the night would press their initials into the last towel they took home. Soon enough, everyone in the neighborhood was stopping by Queen Anne Laundry Room just before bedtime—just to get that perfect personalized creased towel!

3. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does my box always feel heavier after I leave here?’ It turned out that every time he left, his box was filled with freshly laundered clothes from Queen Anne’s secret stash of donated garments. A neighbor joked, 'Now you know why your bills are never late!'

4. One afternoon, a regular was sorting socks when he suddenly asked aloud: ‘Why do I never seem to get matching pairs here?’ Just then, an older gentleman walked in with a basket full of shirts. He looked up and said, ‘Maybe because you’re picking them up too quickly?’ Everyone burst out laughing as they realized it was true—every time someone picked up a sock, another one disappeared into thin air. The regular shook his head and muttered, ‘Queen Anne’s Laundromat: where your socks go to party!’
