oh hai.....
Might me moving back to Seattle area for work. I was up there from Aug '13-April '14 and fell in love with the greenery.... and the trees too lolz
Got an offer from a company up thar and am looking into relocating, myself first probably for a couple months then bringin the family up. I'll prob have to rent till I get my home in Indiana either sold or rented out, that being said.... anyone have any leads to affordable, short term housing like studio or 1bdrm apts? I stayed in a month to month apt/extended stay of sorts in Bellevue previously, but the rent's too damn high now that I gotta cough it up (not my employer) I found some studios in the city, but all seem to be 9-12 months leases. I don't really mind too much where I end up for the first couple months but am a little more worried as to where I bring the family to. Schools are one big factor as I have a elementary and middle school aged kids. I've used both Zillow and craigslist but could use some local advice.
I got a good idear of what areas to avoid (SeaTac and vicinity for the most part) I hear it'd be cheaper to live outside King Co and commute, is there any benefits to that myth? Looking for places for the family near Bellevue (where I previously stayed/worked) Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Lynnwood, Greenwood, Bothell, and as far as Monroe. Office will be in "atlantic" neighborhood kinda near the Link and I90/I5, so I don't want to go too far norf. I Don't like the idea of taking a ferry everyday so I'd like stay east of the sound if I can help it.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
