Never heard of "North Fremont" either; wouldn't that actually be Greenwood? Phinney Ridge?

tza, my step-daughter is giving up her studio apt on Cap Hill, don't know if it's available right away or what $, but could find out if you want more details.
― Jaq, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:02 (fifteen years ago) link
no clue about "North Fremont". A codeword for "on Aurora" (which, hm, no thanks)?
she said NW 48th, so no
I am directionally challenged by this NW designator. Also, it should be illegal to have an intersection that is 148th & 148th (Totem Lake I am looking at you).
― Jaq, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:06 (fifteen years ago) link
would love details, jaq!i'm interested in mid-june/july 1.

it should be illegal to have an intersection that is 148th & 148th
i was the MOST confused child by that, friends living at 112th and 124th, only it was 112th ave and 124th st and not vice versa. god i get confused even writing it out and i've got a great sense of direction damnit
― jergins, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:15 (fifteen years ago) link
lol obviously that is way too north for my tastes and also street view was not v v pretty, btw.xpost
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:16 (fifteen years ago) link
haha no it's kinda yucky up there.
48 NW would be fine. what's the cross street?
― lxy, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link
btw 2nd and 3rd NW
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:17 (fifteen years ago) link
ps lxy do you have uw clout? bc my resume for one job for which i think i am perfectly suited has made it past initial hr review and been sent to the department but lol that could mean anything.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:18 (fifteen years ago) link
48 NW between 2nd and 3rd is near the zoo, and just off Greenwood Ave., which has restaurants, antique shops and such. Nice.
― Such A Hilbily (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:24 (fifteen years ago) link
Erm, well, not exactly. It's a few more blocks from that stuff.

This is a very bohemian, creative place, small room, cozy.
"bohemian" and "creative place" make me want to run away but it's fremont and cheap!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 20:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Tehresa, are you looking up any of these places on Google maps? Just plug in, say, 202 NW 48th Street and check out the neighborhood. Awesome!
― Such A Hilbily (Dan Peterson), Wednesday, 6 May 2009 21:01 (fifteen years ago) link
yeah, street view is my bff!
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 21:06 (fifteen years ago) link
but you know, no substitute for actually knowing an area.
― tehresa, Wednesday, 6 May 2009 21:07 (fifteen years ago) link
clout LOL no, no clout, sorry! i am fully and officially clout-free.
that neighborhood is nice, close to the bus, close to me!

They seem nice... could be an easy sublet!
neighborhood's nice, close-in enough

That one sounds pretty good, house + CSA.
Step-daughter is moving out of her place at the end of the month, says there are several empty in the building and rents have been dropping on the hill. http://www.nwapt.com/harvardcrest.html I think she was paying around $750 for a huge studio (that had a closet big enough for her queen bed, so was more like a 1 bedroom).
― Jaq, Thursday, 7 May 2009 21:04 (fifteen years ago) link
is she moving because of any major deficit in the building, or other reasons?
― tehresa, Thursday, 7 May 2009 22:56 (fifteen years ago) link
Other reasons - sharing a house with friends in the Central District. I think the only issue she's had in this place is the electric baseboard heaters are crappy (though they work).
― Jaq, Thursday, 7 May 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link
good to know! i will keep this in mind as a backup, should cheaper things fall through. capitol hill isn't really my #1 choice, but it could be a contender in the event of desperation.
― tehresa, Friday, 8 May 2009 03:13 (fifteen years ago) link
ummm anyone feel like vetting a place on queen anne ave n for me on sunday at 5pm? will pay you in drinks or cook you dinner or something!
― tehresa, Friday, 8 May 2009 04:31 (fifteen years ago) link
capitol hill isn't really my #1 choice
why not?

ya rly. is it seattle center accessibility?
― gabbneb being gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 8 May 2009 05:49 (fifteen years ago) link
center is just as accessible from cap hill as from most other areas talked about
― magna cum lord (The Reverend), Friday, 8 May 2009 06:19 (fifteen years ago) link
From the Hill. Getting to Seattle Center is a matter of going to Denny Way and then heading down. Since I take the bus it's a little convoluted, but not horribly so. If you're taking the bus it's an No. 8.

vetting a place on queen anne ave n for me on sunday at 5pm
Mr. Jaq and I can do this thing
― Jaq, Friday, 8 May 2009 13:36 (fifteen years ago) link
omg are you serious? <3 <3 <3 forever, really! email me and i will send details.
the cap hill thing isn't related to seattle center. it's just that i felt other neighborhoods (queen anne, fremont, etc.) were prettier and i felt more 'at home' in them. i liked the area up closer to volunteer park though - near cornish? v pretty. but the more 'main drag' areas seemed like fewer trees, more people, and more of a destination than place to live.
― tehresa, Friday, 8 May 2009 14:06 (fifteen years ago) link
that's definitely true of the main drag. but i think the more residential parts are some of the prettier parts of seattle.
― gabbneb being gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 8 May 2009 14:09 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm thinking specifically of the area just east of vol park - may be expensive and mostly family homes i guess. madison valley, which is supposed to be relatively cheaper, seems like a nice area.
― gabbneb being gabbneb (gabbneb), Friday, 8 May 2009 14:24 (fifteen years ago) link
tza, have webmailed you.
My favorite neighborhoods for prettiness are Montlake, Mt. Baker, Madrona/Denny Blaine. Spendy and sort of less transit accessible though, esp. Madrona.
― Jaq, Friday, 8 May 2009 15:44 (fifteen years ago) link
just wrote you back! <3
― tehresa, Friday, 8 May 2009 16:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I understand completely about Cap Hill, and I'm no chamber of commerce, but I will say that I really like my area of it on 15th--great neighborhood, very unlike the rest of the Hill in feel. But I adore Lower Queen Anne and Wallingford and I hope to eventually move to one of those neighborhoods.
― Matos W.K., Friday, 8 May 2009 18:31 (fifteen years ago) link
and yeah, my place on 15th is about three blocks from Volunteer Park. not that the weather this week has been especially conductive to visiting it (or leaving the house).
― Matos W.K., Friday, 8 May 2009 18:35 (fifteen years ago) link
wait does that mean you're not moving?
someone just emailed me about a place at 13th/pine. i checked street maps and it's right by the gay bar where my friends and i somehow ended up in someone's picture. also, the next day, we saw lots of people decked out for leather fest or something.
