There is someone else in west seattle(mat_drinks?). I honestly would not mind moving to west seattle, but there is no way I could convince the gf to move there. I grew up in ballard with a dad who worked in the fishing industry and I still can't get over how much the area has changed. As much as I would love to buy a house in ballard, I don't think its going to happen, so we are looking more in the greenwood/broadview area where its somewhat affordable.

Every time I spot a decently priced house for rent that I would be all over, they don't allow pets. I can understand people not wanting dogs in their rental houses if they are destructive, but they don't even give anyone a chance. My dog has never chewed on anything she wasn't supposed to, doesn't dig in the yard or anything like that. I am half tempted to register* her as a service dog because then she would be no longer considered a pet and people could not legally not rent to us because of her. I know that they would find another reason to not rent to us but its starting to drive me insane


* The laws in washington for having a service dog are stupidly lax


Even better is this part


So there is no actual certification, and its illegal to ask someone what their actual disability is. All you have to say is "This is a service animal that I need because I have a disability."
