Moving to West Seattle in Feb. What's the rental vibe?
Hi hi, moving back up to Seattle from Los Angeles because it sucks here 😂. I love West Seattle, but there aren't a ton of townhomes or houses that pop up on the rental market compared to other neighborhoods. Assuming bc it's the older demographic home owners choosing not to be landlords. How do people reliably find good rentals for this particular area that aren't condo buildings? Property management companies? Zillow? Craigslist? I've looked at all these options and pickings are still slim. Is there a realtor someone could recommend? I've done a lot of research, but moving across state lines is gonna be a pain and I just want some advice because if I come up for a week to find a place and there ain't much, then I'm not sure what to do.
Thanks!

Looking for short term private rental
I’m spending about 5 months in the Seattle area starting in November and I’m looking for a lease takeover or sublease option so I can have my own space for that time (until roughly the end of March).
My sister lives in Everett, so I’m hoping for something in that area, Seattle, or Edmonds/Lynnwood and my budget is up to $1800/month plus utilities.
Some more about me: I’m a software developer based in Salt Lake City, Utah. My current job is letting me stay on with the move so I’ll be working remotely for the time I’m in Washington. When I’m not working, I love playing guitar and watching scary movies with my sister. I have a 9 year old kitty named Cleo who’s a registered ESA and mostly spends her days sleeping and eating. I’m moving to Washington to get away from Utah for the winter and get some space to work on my mental health.

Crazy Rent Increase!???
Hello all,
Not sure if this post belongs here. Feel free to delete if not.
I am renting a studio in Seattle and so far the property management has been pretty disappointing.
A few years ago I had the lease manager tell me they would be increasing my rent because of the amount of money I make. This sounded illegal but I let it go because at that time I found it affordable, a great location, and near work. I didn't the $100 increase.
Then recently within the past year, the utility bills have been astronomical. There have been erroneous charges of over $300 a billing cycle. The property always came out with excuses that the meters were inaccurate or something along those lines. They gave me credit back, but I felt they couldn't accurately know how much they owed me. I left it as is. Just a few months ago I gave up after insisting the bills were incorrect. They had me at $1200. I ended up paying $800ish after some credit they gave me. I got so tired and paid what they wanted.
Fast forward, the building has been converted to MFTE. You can opt out of the program or apply, but if you don't qualify you pay full price on rent. $1100 atm. I spoke to my lease manager and an employee who takes care of the finances over the phone, and I was told we would be getting 6 months advance notice for any increase in rent. I got an email in June saying they would raise the rent 3% with a fixed dollar amount for water/gas/garbage($65) in December(6months). Just last month I applied for the MFTE program. They require a ton of bank statements, statements from where you get money, job verifications, etc...but the paperwork has been in process. I got an email this week that they would be raising the price in April(6months from today) to $2900!!!!!
What is going on here? Can they do that? And who should I talk to about this? Any clue?
I have never been in a scenario like this and I feel these people are out to get me, rather than help me.
Any ideas?
Much appreciated.

Ideally, I’d love to keep the rent under $1,000 a month.

Anyone have any experience with *affordable* housing here? / General advice
Hi All, so some quick info because I have a bit of a weird situation. I recently accepted a long-term paid internship (1 year) with King Conservation District and will be relocating up to Seattle in September and have some concerns about housing I'm hoping I can get some advice/input on.
Given that I am going to be an intern and living on a stipend I have a relatively strict budget of around $1300/mo (roughly 1/3 of my gross monthly). I've been looking for a minute now on Craiglist, Zillow, Facebook, etc. and feel I can hopefully afford a studio, maaaaaybe a 1 bed in Cap Hill / U Dist / Fremont / Ballard. Fundamentally, after years of roomates I do want to live by myself. Unfortunately given my current position (I work for the National Park Service) I am not really going to have the option to tour / check out places prior to my move, hence looking now.
One of the big concerns I have is that I would certainly qualify for income-restricted housing but I've been routinely seeing reviews for places (Thrive Communities, and a lot of the new construction with income/MFTE units) that they have consistent issues with safety and drug use among residents. I've lived in both Seattle and the Bay, and am definitely not a stranger to city living, but I'm afraid of getting stuck in a lease that would be a bad situation. Any advice from folks who live/have lived in income-restricted units would be extremely appreciated, as well as input on finding stuff within my budget. Thanks!

Looking for a roommate in Queen Anne!
Looking for a roommate for the downstairs half of a lovely little duplex in Upper Queen Anne, just south of the Ballard Bridge. Very friendly with the ladies that live upstairs; lots of time spent in the beautiful, full garden (best part of the house). We also pretty consistently have game/movie nights. We're all mid to late 20's.
I have a tiny three legged dog named Russell who can do three whole tricks! I'm a bartender in Ballard, so I have a pretty late schedule. It's street parking only, but we have an in unit washer/dryer.
My current roommate is moving in with his girlfriend at the end of the month, and I would love to be able to stay at this house, it's been the best housing situation I could ask for. The landlord is very chill, she independently owns the property, very different from corporate landlords.
Excited to hear from you!
