OT: Odd requestion (help a LL'er!)...

by wwbaker3 on Jan 30, 2008 5:46 PM PST

I looked around for rules for diary posts and couldn't find anything.

Anyways, as some of you may know I'm coming back to Seattle - on Saturday 2/2 (Brett's picking me up. Thanks bud!).

I'm looking to find a roommate, or roommates, in or around the downtown area. It would need to be near a busline, preferably a major one, as I'll be using it to commute to work in downtown or Bellevue.

Anybody looking to add another M's fan into their house or apartment? If you know someone looking please let me know also.

Looking for a place that's about $500-550/mo.

Ha, funny, I may be looking for the same thing.

I'd put my hand up, but I'm trying to convince a friend of mine to let me move in with him and I'm also looking at a 1 bedroom near greenlake. Also, I'd prefer not to live downtown. Rather, I'd like to be up near Greenwood or closer to UW.

But if anything changes, I'd be happy to let you know.

Correct me if I'm wrong,

but aren't you supposed to get married before you move in together? For shame, wwbaker, for shame...

That's the long story I was trying to avoid...

She left, took the car, took the kid, didn't pay the rent - that's why I had to retreat to the East Coast.

There. I said it.

But screw her (she'll go nameless), I'm going to make a life for myself in Seattle, whether she like it or not!

I've been converted - any deal for Adam Jones is no deal! Find another trade bait!

For a Japanese car you had a fine one

Sorry to hear the details Bill

But I'm glad to hear that this is stuff you'll survive... and that you're coming back to Seattle to rebuild.

I can't have a roommate, but I'll keep an eye out for you. Don't forget to check the Craig's List ads for houseshares.

Craigslist is good for housing

and incredibly bad for finding girls. Don't forget that.

Could not be more true.

I have a female friend that roams there. I suggest you stay away.

I do

BBW with ADHD and Bipolar aren't exactly my type- even if they are on their meds

"They"?

You're talking about 1 person.

Wait, sorry, you made that joke.

I misread it.

New Response: Yeah, I agree.

Oof, sorry dude.

Wowwwwwwwwwwww

That is absolutely wrecked.

Meantime, I've got nothing but I'll keep my eyes peeled.

I'm looking to pick up a lease in Tacoma

but that's useless for you

Washington Highways

by Corco on Jan 30, 2008 7:21 PM PST reply actions

So why post it?

by Jeff Sullivan on Jan 30, 2008 7:51 PM PST up reply actions

If somebody is looking to dump their lease

or part of their lease and they live in Tacoma they would be able to let me know.

That's not worth creating a new diary over, but since this one is here I may as well bring it up

I'm not convinced you'll like it there.

I've lived here for 3/4 of the year

for the last two years. I don't really like it, and once I'm out of school I'm getting out of here, but for now it's the most convenient place for me to live that's not at my house in McCall, and I can't handle another summer at my house with my parents

Moved out when I was 18.

So I'm there with you.

It's not all crap is it?

Outside of Hilltop isn't it sorta decent?

When life gives you scurvy, make lemonade.

UPS is roughly

the southeast corner of the decent part of Tacoma. Besides UP and Fircrest, the only real good parts is that north of 6th and west of roughly Sprague

downtown is mostly OK

in terms of "you won't get shot"

but it's a pretty boring downtown to be in. It doesn't seem like it should be, but there's just not a lot going on. Downtown Boise is way, way more interesting
