Buy Bigger House or Rent in the Meantime?
What would you do? I am in 1300sq feet with 4 humans and NEED more space for sanity. I have a 3% mortgage on the $385k I have left to pay off to own my home outright. If I sold today, I’d walk away with at least $250k in equity. To get in to a bigger house with 500-1000 more sq footage in my neighborhood it would be around $750k in my neighborhood (where I need to stay for kid’s stability). Do I rent out the house I own(market rent would cover my mortgage plus $600 more) and then rent a bigger house for the next 10 years until my kids go to college? OR Do I bite the bullet, sell my current home and use my equity as a down payment and finance the ~$500k with the 6% rates out there now? What would you do???

Looking for someone to take over a room May 1st in a 5-bedroom house which will be shared with 3 other people. The house has its quirks as the landlord is pretty uninvolved, but we try to maintain a clean/peaceful home and the neighborhood is very safe.

We are considerate of one another and respect each other's privacy and space above all else.

- shared bathroom
- 1 human only
- No pets
- You pay $650/mo + utilities. First + last month payment required for move in.

Neighborhood Amenities:
- 5 minute walk to our neighborhood park which includes a basketball court, tennis court, a playground and a swimming pool all available for use
Location:
- 2 minute drive/11min walk to Safeway [with Safeway Gas Station] (lot has 5+ restaurants)
- 5 minute drive to 405 freeway
- 7 minute drive to Totem Lake Village (Whole foods grocery, Trader Joe’s, Ross and other retail shops, 5+ restaurants & Cinema)
- 8 minute drive to UW Bothell
Utilities and payments:
- Internet and utilities will be shared by all (Sewage, water, electricity, Wi-Fi & trash) and average around $150/person, but can be more or less depending on the month. Expect to pay more in the fall/winter

What is a reasonable rent request for an apartment in Seattle?
Edit: Didn't specify in the title; I'm wondering what's a reasonable amount of money to request for someone looking to rent a room, not the entire apartment itself.
.
I am looking to move out of my parent's house before the year is over. I know I have a ways to go before I can actually do so, but I'm slightly discouraged because I've seen listings on various sites/apps/communities that ask for as little as 1,700 just for a 1bed (sometimes amenities not included).
I have found a handful of listings with prices that are more reasonable for me (which are the ones I'm focusing on), but I was wondering if it's normal to ask potential roomates to be able to pay nearly 2k a month for only renting a single bedroom and MAYBE additional amenities like a washer and dryer if you get lucky.

What are the best neighborhoods to live in in Seattle?
For additional context: I am looking to move to Seattle this summer from Canada and am wondering which neighborhoods provide the following:
- Safety (I'm a single woman in my 30s that has a dog that needs to be walked)
- Close access to restaurants, wine bars, breweries
- Is relatively walkable and the walk is enjoyable
- Has decent parking as I own a car
- Views but this is not a must!
Budget for a 1bdr / 1 den would extend from $2-3k/month I have read that Ballard, Fremont, Wallingford, Phinney Ridge and Greenwood could be decent options.
Thank you so much in advance!

The Anti-Capitalist Housing Agenda
I moved to the Seattle area a little over a year ago. Why has there been minimal effort in mass erecting housing to satisfy the influx of new residents? Instead, I see new developments that are income restricted. So, those who do not go into high earning professions can live a life that is arguably of greater quality than those who did go into such professions. This is the most anti-capitalistic idea I have ever seen. What's the point of taking on debt and going to college when I can work at Chipotle and live in a much nicer residence????

Additional places to post campus area sublets?
Hello, I'm trying to sublet my apartment (a furnished 5 bed next to the ave and 5 min walk from campus) as I'm graduating from UW this winter. I've posted on Facebook sublet groups and the Campus Area Housing website (New Yammer and Craigslist). I'm wondering if anyone knows of any additional groups/places to post the sublet! It's a great place and I'm sad to be moving out, but I have a new job and am moving out of state starting end of December.

Help with disability housing
My friend (46F) has multiple disabilities. . She is fully dependent on her partner for all care, transportation and support. He works two jobs. She has no income. No family support. She is bedridden most of the time.
So, maybe unsurprisingly, he's cracking. He's starting to display increasingly disturbing verbal abuse and I think likely to escalate to physical abuse soon. (I'm a social worker and well acquainted with the DV escalation cycle). They're isolated, no family or friends willing or able to help in any meaningful way. I live in in Canada but she has to stay in Seattle because her medical stuff is so complex and she has good doctors where she is.
I've been on the phone with all the aid agencies and government offices that I could think of but not finding any leads.
At very least she needs
1.legal help with another disability application
2.caregivers set to to come help her bathe and eat
3.some kind of logistical aid to leave her husband before it gets bad.
The last one is the biggie, with the epidemic of homelessness in the US right now I know it's common for folks in her position to end up on the streets and that just can't happen.

Zeus Living Eviction Situation
I am currently renting a property through Zeus living. I have made all my payments accordingly and to my surprise I received an eviction notice a few days ago stating I have to be out of the property by December 15 due to missed payments by Zeus since September. I reached out to Zeus and they are offering to terminate my lease on November 30. Only problem with this is I am in the process of finding a new place and cannot guarantee I’ll have it ready for move in by November 30.
I am wondering what exactly my rights are here.
I reached out to the building management and they stated the balance remains unpaid (and from similar situations online it doesn’t seem like Zeus has the funds to settle these balances as they are bankrupt)
If i don’t cancel I will be required to pay Zeus rent for the entire month when I will be evicted on December 15th. I’d rather not go through the process of then trying to get money back from Zeus after I do get evicted, seeing as they are not paying the landlord either, so I don’t want to do this option.
If I do terminate, what are my rights here on how long I can legally stay before I am kicked out? The process of securing a new place and moving in will probably spill over to December by about a week or so. Most definitely before the date on the eviction.
Not sure what to do here.
