Hello! I just accepted a job offer to work in Kent. Recommendations on apartments to stay??

It’s me and my 50lb dog. I’m from Louisiana so I’m not familiar with the area at all. I don’t mind driving either. Here I already drive from one county to another for work so commuting is ok. Looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom

County Interview Timeline Response

Hi,

I finished my interview on 01/14/25 and it's been about 2 weeks. It was a panelist interview with 3 other people after the interview was finished I asked about the timeline on when they are going to respond back to candidates and they said 1-2 weeks. They were really quick to schedule an interview but not as fast on if they found a candidate or not.

Since it's been two weeks and I have not heard back from anyone should I consider I didn't get the job? Maybe I'm being too anxious. It's for the DCHS - Department of Community Health Services.

Is this a normal experience?

Free Dental Screenings—Northgate (Friday January 24)

Hey Seattle friends! If you’ve been putting off a trip to the dentist or are looking for affordable care, here’s a great opportunity.

I’m a dental hygiene student at Pima Medical Institute in Northgate, and I have two screening appointments available tomorrow, Friday, January 24, at 8:15 am and 8:45 am.

Here’s the deal: • The screening appointment is completely free and only takes about 30 minutes. • It’s a quick way to figure out your dental care needs and case type. • Afterward, you can schedule a new patient exam for just $19.99!

It’s a super affordable way to take care of your teeth while helping students like me get the hands-on experience we need to graduate.

The clinic is located in the Northgate area, and parking is easy. If you’re interested or have questions, drop a comment or send me a DM.

If spots are full, I can add you to a waiting list so you can still be seen. New appointments open up in 2 weeks!

Thanks for supporting students and for keeping Seattle smiling!

New Tundra cruisers?

Saw a black/white(door) Tundra just now near my building. 80% certain the door has Sheriff written on it. Did King county purchase a fleet of Tundras?

Looking for rental

Hello I'm moving from Kitsap end of February and am looking for landlords or apartments that won't mind bad credit with a very long rental history of 9 years at current house. Divorce and medical bills made my credit crap. So anything you know would help. I'm moving to be closer to my new job because ferry commute sucks. Thanks!!

Edit to add I will have plenty of cash to pay extra deposit or first last and deposit. Thanks!

Question about the shoreline courthouse

Hi all, thought I might try mu luck on here, since I'm having a rough time getting in touch with reps over at the courthouse.

I am filling a protective order, and was wondering if anyone on here had experience with this kind of thing. I'm filling out the paperwork and I have hard copies (and copies on my computer), of the evidence I need. Does anyone know if the shoreline courthouse accepts hard copies, or if it must all be done online? Also, how do you present the evidence to someone? Are clearly labeled manilla folders acceptable? I would put these into a box. If not, should they be placed in a binder?

Thank you everyone!

Another rural zoning question

I'm in an RA-5 area. There's and existing 40yo structure on my property that's within 10 feet of the property line with another RA-5 zoned lot. We have a private road that's on the other side of the property line (all the right of way / easements for utilities & access are deeded).

So, I've got this old building. It's within the setback space, I'm assuming given the proximity to the property line. I'd like to repaired/renovate and and, if possible add a second story for storage purposes. It's not a dwelling, it's like a shop and work space.

I guess I'm wondering if I'm grandfathered in given that it's old and exists and I wouldn't change the impermeable surface / footprint? Or am I going to get popped & have to teardown the whole old structure because it's within the setback?

Need Answers or Advice. The past 6 months I’ve been getting billed monthly for utilities from a 3rd Party Company (Yes Energy Management) and each month is getting higher with no answers on why.

This is my first time renting a apartment. I get a monthly bill from a 3rd party company (Yes Energy Management) for my utilities. I have been trying to figure out how they come up with such ridiculous high amounts on my bill. I live in Maple Valley

I moved in mid July and thought the reason for my high bill had to do with summer season but that's not the case. In fact it has been going up.

I pay TRASH $140-$180 Aug-Nov

SEWER $170-$212 Aug-Nov

SEWER CAPACITY CHARGE $40 every month

WATER $66-$69 Aug-Nov

ELECTRICITY for Complex Lights $29-$40

Gas in cents

$271 for first 16 days. Aug $442 Sept $448 Oct $452 Nov $492

My trash and sewer is raising to ridiculous amounts that make no sense at all. I'm also on government assistance and they don't even discount..

I’m left with more questions than answers. I’ve done my personal digging on Yes Energy Management and found out that they got sued for 2.8m in Maryland settlement to tenants. And heard of more coming. If this extremely high utility is bill is from illegal activity does anyone know the proper steps or how can I personally calculate my utilities cost myself to obtain the facts.
