Blurb

This blog follows my journey from NYC to Seattle through the woods and over the mountains to the west coast I go!

First Laundry

I'm existing with only enough clothing to fit into a carry-on suitcase. This makes for an easy laundry day.

The machines are brand new and not at all like the dingy, old, industrial machines at the laundry on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn. Also, it was only $3 to wash and dry a load of laundry and, if I wanted to, I could swipe a credit card on the machine itself. If I was feeling extra techie, I could even scan a QR code to get a text when my laundry finishes. 

Back in NYC I found it worthwhile to send my laundry out. Sure, I had to write out instructions each time because of all my hang dry items, but it was the most stress-free option. Socks went missing every now and then. Two weeks of laundry cost about $30 including delivery tips. 

This is just one little slice of life that makes Seattle a much more pleasant place to live than NYC.
