Lumin Laundry: A newly established, family-owned and operated local laundromat
Published 6:00 am Monday, November 17, 2025
Opened in March 2024, Lumin Laundry was founded by Seattle native and retired electrician Arne Bjorkelo, who set out to reimagine what a community laundromat could be.
Offering comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, beverage dispensers, TVs and spotless restrooms — the experience at Shoreline’s new favorite laundry facility is welcoming from start to finish — proof that laundry day can go from a chore to an experience in the right setting.
Situated just east of Interstate 5 (I-5) in Ballinger Village shopping center, customers will find Thriftway Grocery, Starbucks, UPS and other businesses conveniently located nearby — making Lumin an easy stop while crossing multiple items off the ‘To Do List’.
“I wanted to create a place where people feel welcome and looked after,” Arne says.
“When I envisioned creating Lumin, I saw a business that offered convenient, professional laundry services but also provided a family friendly space where customers felt comfortable and safe while doing their laundry.
Lumin is always fully-staffed with trained attendants on-site everyday to keep your laundry experience smooth, safe, and stress-free.
Lumin offers self-service, drop-off wash, dry and folding services and a newly introduced pick-up and delivery service.
A faster and more efficient experience with every load
“We offer an easy-to-use, self-service option specifically designed for speed and efficiency. Ensuring our customers always get perfectly clean laundry — without compromising their time,” Arne says.
The facility features brand-new, state-of-the-art Electrolux equipment designed and manufactured in Sweden.
These high-extraction washers use less water and spin at higher speeds, removing more moisture so clothes spend less time in the dryer.
With a general combined washing and drying time of less than an hour per load, customers are saving both time and money.
Each machine offers an ergonomic design with an intuitive seven-inch touchscreen and a wide range of wash cycles to suit everything from delicate fabrics to large comforters, pillows, pet bedding and even rugs.
The system’s adaptive water levels and precise detergent dosing help reduce waste and minimize environmental impact, while its OnE Connected technology and Global Advanced Hygiene program ensure proven textile disinfection and consistently fresh results.
The convenience of professional Wash and Fold service
For those who want to save even more time, Lumin Laundry offers expert drop-off wash and fold services.
Just drop off your laundry at the facility and let the expert team handle the rest!
This service provides fresh, clean and perfectly folded clothes, with a standard two-day turnaround. Although, same-day delivery is also avaliable for certain items at no extra charge.
For maximum convenience, try Pickup and Delivery
Lastly, Lumin offers a newly introduced pickup and delivery service that turns laundry day into a simple three-step process, scheduled easily through their website.

1. Schedule pick up and delivery: A quick 2 minute process to create an account online and fill in all the details of pick up and drop off time.
2. Where the magic happens: Top-notch washing, drying and folding of your clothes.

With a 4.9-star rating, customers have shared glowing reviews about the space, equipment and service.
“This business is incredible! Spotless place and equipment, 10/10 efficiency. Great atomsphere!!” shares Roberto Marquez.
Another customer, Raysa Pena, adds, “It’s by far the best laundromat I’ve ever been to — and I’ve been to dozens across Massachusetts and Washington. I wish they had one in every state.”
