Today was an adventurous day-- so many dangerous obstacles! While apartment hunting we encountered the ferocious hot lava and survived! We fought our way through the fog and found ourselves no longer homeless! Okay, so we did have a couple hurdles as we lost miserably to some terrible henchmen and an evil doctor... (Just kidding, it's only a board game).
Okay, okay, I know, we were never homeless. However we now have two homes! At least until April 7th. What do I mean? Well, the answer is simple. We paid our deposits and got a brand new one year lease at a beautiful apartment in the wonderful South Lake Union at Rollin Street Flats. Yes, I know this is a little pricer BUT! We got a terrific moving in bonus! Not only do we get the first two weeks free, but we also got the one unit that in total (including parking and pets) winds up cheaper than our current apartment (which is wayyyy smaller) because renewing our lease will add $200 to our rent on top of the $220/month parking. So yes, we are officially saying goodbye to Harbor Steps.
We have already put a few items into the new place.... we are going to slowly move our stuff by ourselves until we get the majority of our small stuff over there. Hopefully it won't take forever and a day to do so.
Where did the Space Needle go? Nobody knows....
There it is! (View from the terrace on our floor which is directly in front of you when you get off the elevators)

So excited about this place!
Awesome sink and European style cabinets.

Awesome sink and vanity area!
This is the first apartment I've seen that comes with full sized front load washers and dryers!
Big tub with a large shower head (that Mike will probably hit his head on.... darn tall people!:) )
Mike's man cave (aka the den)
I would like to submit the notion that the "man cave" will also be the "this is where people sleep when they come to visit cave" :)
