I watched in awe as my grandmother scrubbed my t-shirt in a five gallon bucket with a small washboard on the back porch using rain water we had collected. I had never seen clothes washed by hand, but in rural Alaska, that's what you do when there is no other option.
Fast forward a few summers and the Alaskan Queen, a fish buyer and scow, began anchoring in the bay during the fishing season. This was HUGE when it came to washing clothes. My cousins and I would load up the skiff with our laundry, make the four minute ride, tie up, and help each other onto the scow with our sacks of clothes, shower bags, and often rain gear. On board were three washers and dryers, two showers, and a phone. Talk about services. I remember killing time by showering (we just had a sun shower at the cabin), and digging out a damp calling card so I could call my best friend, and neighbor, back in Juneau. Does anyone remember 1-800-COLLECT? *69, *67? Those were the days, eh?
Leaving the laundry/shower room, you could cross to the other side to the small grocery store. Passing an open section where fishing boats would tie up and sell their fish. A worker or two would be there gutting and stuffing fish with ice. That was another thing, you could buy ice! When you don't have a refrigerator, ice is life. Aside from that, fish processors were always in need. My cousin lasted one day on that job, the smell lingers and makes it even harder to meet boys.
A little oasis of city life aboard one boat. Probably one of the few times I have fond memories of doing my laundry haha. The Scow no longer comes to Port Alexander and I miss the days when the entire town was anticipation of its arrival.
When I met up with Sydney for an afterwork photoshoot it brought all those memories back. Straight up chillin' on top of the dryer with wet hair, ice cream, and waiting for my turn for the phone.
Alaskans, what are your laundry mat memories?!
Best,
Thank you, Alaska Laundry for still making my laundry mat dreams!

I became a prey to crypto fraudsters in my 23rd year of life. Having invested $234,000 on a fake crypto platform. They continually told me the funds were increasing up until it was time for withdrawal and they got lost into thin air. Just for sheer luck, I found EXNER PRO HACKER on the Trustpilot site. @ Exnerprohacker@protonmail.com. As a child with military parents, life cannot be termed as normal like any other child’s basic life. You might lack the constant guidance needed growing up with your parents. But we love and respect them regardless. We have to go through both physical as well as emotional battles constantly in life. And yes, the funds are very much available in terms of allowances without fail, but we constantly face a lot of mistakes. Am 25 years old now and wiser with a better understanding of life. Seek help for such services. Get back what you have sacrificed a lot to attain.you are not alone.

How To Recover Cryptocurrency, Binary Option & Fake Investments funds Before engaging in any of these Bitcoin investing websites with your hard-earned money, I advise beginner bitcoin investors to conduct due diligence. By promising to make huge earnings, they win your trust and get you to invest more. However, as soon as you make a sizable investment, they purposefully lock your account and demand additional payments before releasing your winnings. I lost $178,000 in cryptocurrency that I had invested with a fraudulent organization, this was almost all of my savings. a particular thank you to Century Hackers Services, whose recovery company worked really hard to get my money returned. Century Hackers Service can be contacted if you ever find yourself in a situation like this. Contact them via century@cyberservices.com Website: https://centurycyberhacker.pro/

My name is Elizabeth. I have fallen victim to fraud recently but luckily got help from ALLEGIANT PRO HACKER. I advise anyone seeking out hacking services to ask the hacker all the questions you need before committing to a specific hacker. Any charges that they may present in the course of their services have clarity as to why, where, and the expected overall amount. This will make the process a lot smoother by the end of it all. About two weeks ago, I searched for a hacker who could help me recover my lost USDT. $509,625
worth, lost to wemixbtc, a website with highly running ads on most social media platforms. When I finally landed on my most preferred hacker, ALLEGIANT PRO HACKER, I had to run a thorough background check before asking them questions themselves. I was satisfied with their mode of service payment (no upfront payment), their customer feedback methodology, clarity of communication, and efficiency of recovery. I managed to have my funds in a matter of 24 hours, If you need a good breakdown of the recovery process, contact them email: allegiantprohacker@proton.me and telegram +1-562-553-9611You will get great services as I am attesting.
