Well, we’ve gone and done it — we turned in the application for the apartment we looked at yesterday. The apartment Prairie looked at this morning was “nice, but not as nice,” and while the apartment we checked this evening was nice, we weren’t comfortable with the area. It was only three blocks away from Aurora (for my Anchorage readers, think north Muldoon/4th Ave./Spenard rolled into one, but bigger and seedier), and the neighborhood just didn’t give us the best vibes.
So, we went back over to yesterday’s option, turned in our application, and then zipped down the few blocks to Prairie’s sister’s place. After a few minutes chatting with them we left the car there (so as not to have to pay for parking in downtown Seattle all week) and hopped on a bus back to my apartment. The bus situation is nice, too — the apartments are just a block away from a stop for number 41, which is a straight shot to downtown Seattle, all of about half an hour.
If all goes well, we should hear back by midday tomorrow…and with luck, we’ll get the go and have our new place!
And then comes the moving…

Congratulations! May the landlord show excellent taste and rent to y’all.
It sounds great, Mike!
Love
