Overlake Laundromat provides outsourced hotel laundry service across the Seattle Eastside — engineered to be cheaper than running laundry in-house. Per-pound pricing replaces housekeeping labor, commercial washer/dryer capex, equipment maintenance, and laundry-room utilities with a single line item. Free pickup and delivery, next-day turnaround, month-to-month with no long-term contracts. Dispatched from our Redmond facility at 14910 NE 24th ST, serving hotels in Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Bothell, and the broader Eastside.
Running hotel laundry in-house looks cheap on the surface and expensive on the P&L. Every load processed by housekeeping is an hour of fully-loaded labor (wage + payroll taxes + workers' comp + benefits) that isn't being spent turning rooms. Add commercial washer and dryer capex, depreciation, parts, service calls, water and sewer, gas, electric, and the opportunity cost of square footage tied up as a back-of-house laundry room — and the in-house model rarely pencils out once you measure it.
Outsourcing collapses those five recurring cost centers into one per-pound rate. Your housekeeping team focuses on rooms. Your facilities team stops fielding broken-washer calls. Your GM gets a cleaner monthly invoice. We've been doing this for hotels and hospitality properties on the Eastside for over 40 years from our Redmond facility.

For most Eastside properties, yes. In-house laundry carries five recurring costs: housekeeping/laundry labor (wage plus payroll taxes and benefits), commercial washer and dryer capex and depreciation, ongoing equipment maintenance, water/sewer/gas/electric utilities, and the opportunity cost of square footage tied up as a back-of-house laundry room. Outsourcing converts all five into one per-pound rate that scales with occupancy. Actual savings depend on your wage structure, occupancy curve, and current equipment age — we'll model it against your last quarter's payroll and utility figures on request.
Eastside hotel housekeeping wages typically run $20–$28/hour fully loaded. Every hour spent on laundry is an hour not turning rooms. Per-pound outsourcing replaces variable labor with a fixed unit rate, frees housekeeping for room turns, and eliminates laundry shift scheduling. Call (425) 881-0303 for a quote sized to your room count and weekly volume.
Commercial washers and dryers sized for hotel volume are a meaningful capital line item with replacement and major repair cycles measured in years. Outsourcing eliminates the capex, the depreciation, the service contracts, and unscheduled downtime when a machine fails mid-shift.
Often. Hotel laundry rooms typically occupy floor space that could otherwise be guest rooms, meeting space, F&B storage, or housekeeping staging. Once linen processing moves off-site, that footprint is recoverable.
Standard turnaround is next-day. Pickup runs in the morning; clean linen returns on the following day's scheduled run. For properties that prefer to handle their own transport, same-day in-store drop-off is available at our Redmond facility (drop by 2 PM, ready by 8 PM).
No. Hotel accounts run month-to-month with flexible scheduling. Adjust pickup frequency, pause for low-occupancy stretches, or end the relationship without penalty.
Call (425) 881-0303 or submit the commercial quote form. Include property name, room count, F&B presence, and current weekly linen volume if you have it. We'll respond within 48 hours with a written quote and a proposed pickup schedule.
We offer special pricing to our commercial customers! Servicing Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland and surrounding areas.
