Update

Things are coming along nicely. I must say I'm just amazed at how supportive my family is being in helping me with my dream of moving to Seattle. I knew they would be supportive, but they are going above and beyond their call of duty and I am really appreciative. It's a shame I couldn't do it all on my own. I try to be as independent as possible, but sometimes you just have to admit that you need help. And it's funny, when I set aside my pride and asked for it, they didn't hesitate to rally around me and that is touching. Not one single person said "no", and they had every right to. (Perhaps they are happy to get rid of me? Nah, j/k!)

If any of you are actually reading this - thank you, thank you - you're the best!

As I've said before, there is an apartment shortage in Seattle right now so I'm just hoping to take what I can get for now, sight unseen, and be pickier once I've been there a while. One place is looking promising. The manager is very nice and we've spoken a couple of times. She called me last week and said she has 3 apartments available right now but it's not likely they'll still be open April 1st. She's going to call me next week when she'll know for certain if anything will open for April 1st and then I'll probably just start the application process and put a deposit hold on it. It's just north of downtown Seattle. Here are a couple of pics of the place.

The one bedroom apartment is much smaller than my current place - it's 640 sq ft I believe. So I'm downsizing right now and getting rid of some furniture. It looks like a nice place though, huh?? Like I said, I'm really not in a position to be picky right now. I'll just get out there, find a good job and go from there! Wish me luck!
