Inside the Speed Wash laundromat on Mt. Pleasant St. near the corner of 16th and Harvard at the top of the Adams Morgan neighborhood (Or perhaps this is the beginning of the Mt. Pleasant neighborhood? I don't know where the lines are drawn or how you tell when you've left one neighborhood and entered another. I guess the DC Map Gallery would be one place to start.) I spent a few hours here yesterday washing bulky heavy things that won't fit in our tiny washer (like comforters and furniture covers). I was shocked to see it cost $4.50 for a load of laundry, plus about $1.50 to dry. Admittedly, I used the large, "double-loader" washers because I had big heavy stuff, but the regular size washers were smaller than the tiny one we have here in our apartment! Whatever; it's crazy how expensive it is to do laundry this way. I now have a new appreciation for our washer and dryer.
