It is everywhere. Look for a Lavendaria or a standalone, laundromat. without attached dry cleaners.

Laundromats that hire an attendant, want to keep the attendant busy. "wash and fold" is how they do it.

for a family of 4 with towels and such, this would cost a fortune. a single person, it is a bargain. $25 to $30 a week.

in years past when i used to travel and be on customer sites for weeks at a time, i would get my laundry done before i went home. pick up the clean clothes on the way to the airport. eliminated one task when i got home.

Yeah they are everywhere. Some even have drive-thru drop-off/pickup or delivery.

They charge by dry weight of the laundry. I know people with families who still find it a good value for the time savings. Hang your towels and use them again, they don't really need to be washed that often. Also make sure they aren't soaking wet when you take them to be weighed.
