    Seattle Housing - Help!

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    The apartment where I live is raising the rent to $803/mo. OUCH! If anyone knows of 2 bed rentals that allow a dog for less than that in the north end of Seattle, Shoreline, Edmonds, Bothell, LFP, Lake City, Kenmore, Juanita, please please send me a PM. I've been searching the internet and haven't found anything that will allow a dog and is cheaper.

    UG! Waiting for the housing bubble to burst....

    awww that is a tough one when you have pet friends. Did you check with a real estate person? They manage places for people with rentals? You might have some luck there.

    I second the Craigs thing. When Spazzdog was down here we did a lot of Craigs searches. Ultimately we found her an apartment because a friend of mine gave me the wrong number and we went there. Spazz charmed them into allowing her dog. That darn dog has more references than most people.

    Yeah, I've been checking Craigslist. It's lookin' pretty sparse. Looks like I qualify for some low-income housing loans, but the Section 8 housing vouchers for rentals would only bring me to $750-$800 /mo anyway. Plus there's still the dog issue.

    So, I guess I'm best off staying put for another year while I work on getting Seattle Office of Housing grants and loans and looking for a qualified house or condo.

    My favorite idea is to buy a travel trailer and rent a parking spot in my friend's driveway. (and drag it to some lovely beach in the islands every weekend) But I think Child Protective Services might have something to say about that!

    But hey, then I'd own my own home!
