Optical repair in Seattle/Tacoma?

May 14, 2020 10:59 AM

One lens of my wife’s glasses has popped out, and nothing we can do will get it back in. Is anyone in the area open for what should be a simple repair? I’ve tried unscrewing the frame, but am unable to fit the lens back in and close the frame again. She has no spares and can’t do anything without them.

We live in Federal Way, so south end or Tacoma is preferred. I’m in line at Costco now, no idea if their optical is open at all.

You could try on your local NextDoor page to see if there's a local on furlough from Lenscrafters or somewhere who'll do you a favour.

Response by poster: It turns out the optical shop at Costco is open (I only had to stand in line half an hour to find out). Thanks!

It's probably further than you'd like but "All American Eyeglass Repair" in Bellevue are great. They're near the bus terminal, so if you don't want to drive in to town and deal with parking, the bus is a fine option.
