westrider and I in securing a new living situation. westrider, I expect your comments. madalchemist, when three-bedroom options are considered, your input is also considered. The rest of you, heckele and comment all you want, because I'll find it amusing.
Yesterday I visited a duplex near the Capitol campus in Olympia.
The upper part of this building.
Pros:
Allows cats
three bedrooms
ten/fifteen minute walk to the fishbowl (pub)
RIGHT next to the DASH - Oly's new free weekday downtown bus that makes a loop every 12 minutes.
Nice, approachable landlord who does maintenance himself.
in-house washer'n'dryer.
nice big kitchen.
70's burnt orange contact paper
70's blush colored bath tub
Cons:
Totally funky-shit floorplan - the third bedrooom has a kitchen-type sink and an outside door.
70's burnt orange contact paper
70's blush colored bath tub
smallish windows
Price: $875/month, renter pays all utilities.
living room type area (facing street).
Entry/dining area, door into kitchen
the itty-bitty bedroom.
The third bedroom - looks like it was a mother-in-law apartment at some point. There's a bathroom in it with another sink, as well.
The tub.
I'll post a floorplan sketch to this space later. For now, off to potential dwelling reconaissance number 2!
Oh, and Peter, if you don't want me doing this publicly for some reason, let me know.
