Edit: Our hearts are much, much fuller now. Still a little heavy — because… (gestures broadly at everything) — but fuller. 💛
The original anonymous harassment review has been removed, and Google has now taken down the wave of fake reviews that followed. Unfortunately, that also meant removing many of your wonderful, genuine reviews, which makes us sad — we loved reading every single one.
Yelp is… well, Yelp. But we’re hopeful things will get sorted out there soon.
Thank you so much for standing with Adam’s, with immigrants, and with our community. Together, love wins. Always.
Keep being your compassionate, big-hearted selves, Corvallis. We appreciate you more than you know. 💛
Our hearts are heavy right now.
Adam's Washeteria is being attacked online because we stand with immigrants and human dignity. We built Adam's to be a sanctuary, a place for community, a place to have fun while doing laundry, where people from all walks of life can feel welcome and supported.
When we first opened, we offered two weeks of free laundry for our community. We are about to start a pay-it-forward campaign for people who need help with laundry, much like coffee shops use. Adam’s is about more than business — it’s about helping neighbors, building connection, and supporting everyone who walks through our doors.
But right now, part of our community is trying to hurt Adam’s because of our values. Someone anonymously posted in a local Facebook group criticizing us for our politics, and now we’re being attacked online.
In just one hour this evening, we went from 23 five-star Google reviews to 34 total reviews, with all 11 new ones coming from people who have never visited the shop. On Yelp, we now have 2 one-star reviews. These attacks aren’t about service — they’re about punishing us for the values we choose to stand for.
We won’t let this silence us. Adam’s will continue to be a place for connection, community, and inclusion. Yes, we are reporting the reviews. Yes, we are responding. And yes — this sucks. We need your support, your visits, and your voices to keep this space alive. Please visit us, in person or digitally, and show us some love. We'd really appreciate that.
💛 Thank you for standing with us, with our community, with immigrants, and with each other.
