Where is your Washing Machine?

Basements are pretty rare in California...I think it has something to do with the water table. They typically flood in the winter so people don't bother with them.

I would say that most people out here either have a utility room for their washer and dryer or put them in the garage. I've always had them in the garage.

The DC suburb I live in (population over 60,000) does not have a single laundromat. The neighboring city of about the same population has one tiny laundromat. I've never seen anything like it.

Our city of about 17,000 has 2 large laundromats.

Our home in KS had a basement, and alot of people had their wash rooms in the basements....Although they would say "We have a laundry shoot to make it easier" well HELLO who is gonna "Shoot" them back up?!? Yeah, I would've told my family...Closets are NOW in the basement! Thankfully ours was upstairs.

Our neighbor at the farm had a laundry shoot and a dumb waiter as well. They had a 4 level house.
