After almost two months of apartment hunting, I finally landed a nice place to call home. Seattle turned out to be pretty competitive when it comes to finding good apartments — at least when compared to Pittsburgh. It came down to keeping a close eye on Craigslist and trying to get an application in as soon as possible. I was beaten out of two nice places before this one.
The Sir Lancelot Apartments are in Seattle’s Capitol Hill district. It’s an older building, and came with a free informational brochure on the dangers of lead-based paint. The apartment is a large studio with a separate bedroom, hardwood floors, and just enough character to make me feel like a real human being. Most importantly, it’s just right up the hill from downtown, so I can sleep in another half hour in the morning.
I should be all moved in by the first. Want to help?

Congrats on the new place! Hope there is enough room for an air mattress and two big dogs when we come to visit…
