A year ago, the stretch along 65th Ave just east of 8th was booming. But that’s recently changed. Last month Tigertail was shut down by the Washington Department of Revenue and Il Giardino closed this summer.

Now, the EZ Wash Coin Laundry is closed. There are two signs on the door. In bold letters, one sign says “CLOSED until further notice for maintenance & repairs.” The other is from the King County Sheriff’s Office stating that the tenants have been evicted. Jessica emailed us after talking with the owner of another business on 65th and says that the building’s owner may be working with a new tenant who may fix up the machines and reopen.
