Available Room for Rent

Suite for rent in single-family house in quiet, safe, neighborhood

Hello! We are looking for a kind, compassionate, open-minded person to share our house in the Olympic Hills neighborhood of NE Seattle. We are a five-minute drive to the light-rail station, two blocks from the nearest bus line, and a 15 to 20-minute walk to numerous grocery stores, restaurants and bars. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, with great neighbors, walkable streets, and nearby parks.

The space: you have your own 300 sq ft suite, which in addition to your bedroom, includes your own living room area, your own entrance, own bathroom, own refrigerator/freezer, closets, and storage. Please note the space is not furnished. The photos only give you an idea of how you could decorate. You would share the kitchen with us, which includes oven/stove, microwave, dishwasher and pantry, as well as the washer/dryer. The main living room is also open to sharing, where we have an indoor fireplace (so nice in the winter!).

We have a huge backyard where you have access to four raised garden beds - which are entirely open for you to use, a fire pit, patio and lawn, with plenty of outdoor seating. We also have a basement studio space with a piano and an additional bed for guests if needed.

We both love spending time outdoors, traveling, hiking, walking, going to concerts, watching the occasional movie, sitting around a fire, and cooking delicious dinners. One of us is an artist who runs their own graphic design studio. The other works full-time for a nonprofit organization helping entrepreneurs get off the ground, as well as running a small, concert-production company in addition to their own solo music project. We both work from home and occasionally work remotely. We have friends over once or twice a month, hosting small dinner parties or bonfires, but are mainly quiet, chill, fun, and respectful of those around us.

We are looking for a like-minded individual who is clean, respectful, and authentic. Must be regularly employed and have solid job and housing references. Parking is off-street and requires no permit. We share the cost of utilities, which average around $100/month per person.

If this sounds like you, please send us a message telling us more about yourself, where you work (full-time employment please), a few references we can talk to, a bit about your background, and why our place sounds appealing to you. Please share anything insightful, interesting or fun about who you are!
