The old wash house on the corner of MacArthur and Loma Vista in the Laurel district of Oakland got a facelift early last year. All the machines were swapped out, the parking lot was repaved, and a Wells Fargo ATM was added to the outside. If you have to use the landromat, you may as well be in one that’s new, and the machines still work. They even have things for sale, like backpacks and umbrellas. Another bonus: play video games and pinball while you wait. 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 7 days a week.
