After a few long months of vacancy, Interbay Cleaners is opening a new location at the corner of Queen Anne Ave N and W Roy in Uptown—the former home of Counterbalance Bicycles.
Interbay Cleaners is a “green dry cleaner,” meaning that it uses organic and environmental friendly materials, as opposed to traditional chemical cleaners. From the website:
We have taken our big bold step to go green in dry cleaning (often called “organic cleaning”), turning away from the traditional dry cleaning methodology that we gradually found out to be terribly harmful to you and our planet, earth.
Organic dry-cleaning means that it only uses environmentally friendly and health solvent, as opposed to the harmful and toxic solvent used in traditional dry-cleaning. Our solvent* has been used in cosmetics and as food additives for many decades. Proving it to be absolutely safe for our health and environment.
The local company has another location, at 1827 15th Ave W in the Whole Foods complex in Interbay. I dropped by the new store last week and spoke with general manager, Alex. He expects that the Lower Queen Anne location will be open later this week. He also says the store will have an outside drop-off receptacle where customers can leave clothes after hours, which will be guaranteed ready for pick-up by 4 p.m. the next day.
