I need some help finding an apartment in Seattle, WA.?

Question

I currently live in Fort Smith, Arkansas.. I am trying to move to Seattle area because my sister will be moving there with her husband soon, (military) and I am planning on going to college there. I need to try to find a job and a place to live soon so that I can get moved up there before December. Any ideas on where to look? I've tried Craig list already. I'm looking for a studio or 1br within $525/mon. And I would prefer something that has inclusive utilities. I really appreciate the help!

if your sister is moving here for military they probably will be in Tacoma, it shouldn't be too hard to find something small for you in that price range, don't give up and if need be put an ad on Craig list too.

Answer 2

$525 isn't going to find you much in the Seattle area unless you want to rent just a room in a house.  I wouldn't bother with craigslist - lots of scams on there.  Try the listings in the Seattle Times - http://marketplace.nwsource.com/rentals/... or The Stranger http://classifieds.thestranger.com/seatt...

Answer 3

apartments.com should have a lot of info. But $525 in city is going to be really, really hard to do; $700+ is more reasonable.
