I'm in a bit of a tight spot. My fiancee and her kids were supposed to be coming here with me after the lease on our house in Chicago ran out at the end of June. I had a house picked out in Kent that we could afford... and then found out that instead of signing off on the change to visitation that he agreed upon, her ex-hub decided he wants to try and get joint custody. So now she can't leave Illinois until this is sorted out. Could be up to a year. She's going to stay with friends while that happens, but I can't afford to rent a house right now and try and support her in Chicago if necessary, as well.
Meanwhile, The entire contents of our house are being moved here at the end of the month. I guess I need to find an inexpensive one-bedroom apartment that I can rent month-to-month until this all gets straightened out. I've resigned myself to living with a verrry large pile of furniture and boxes until then.
Why Kent? It's in my price range, I can get to Downtown Seattle on the Sounder. Much like I used to take the commuter trains to Chicago from where I lived (about 30 miles north of Chi).
