Apartment hunting in Redmond #2
News ·Wednesday August 12, 2009 @ 20:55 EDT (link)
We went looking for apartments today: Honey had made a list, although we only ended up looking a three of them: The Lodge at Redmond Ridge, Avalon at Bear Creek, and the Onyx (on 156th, close to main campus—used to be Ravenswood at the Park). We got a good price on a two bedroom, two bath ground floor (makes moving easier and keeps cooler) unit at Avalon at Bear Creek, on Avondale Road, since the last tenant had left early and opted to pay out the lease, giving us two free months which we opted to amortize.
It is a first step. We plan to move with a big Penske truck on the 22nd (help is of course appreciated; pizza and beer and other food and drink are in the offing).
I had planned to take the day off, but we ended up finding a place so quickly I just went in a little later, and stayed late (but it was workaholics anyway).
(This is #2 because we were looking for apartments in Redmond in 2005 after arriving, too.)
Books finished: The Politically Incorrect Guide To the Civil War.
