Update: Found an apartment. It's a one bedroom, all to myself. It's going to be a new experience, living alone. I've actually never had my own place before, and I'm excited about having my own home. I plan on getting a cat to keep me company, and I've realized that most of the friends of friends that I have in the area will actually be in my ward, so that's good. I'm going to dinner and an activity with them tomorrow night, so the fun begins.
It's in Magnolia, which is a Seattle neighborhood. It's actually the next neighborhood west of the one that the Space Needle and the convention center are in, so it'll be convenient to downtown for the con over Labor Day. It's a nice, quiet neighborhood, with a nice view of the Sound (though my particular windows don't really get much view beyond the building next door, but if I ride my bike a few blocks, there's the Sound right there). It's a secure building, with secure parking, even. And an elevator. The movers will love me moving in (as opposed to the ones in Boston who hated me--4th floor walkup plus the flight to the basement on the back stairs).
So, I move in Saturday, and then I will officially be a Seattle-ite. Do any of you need an update on my address? Let me know, if so. Phone (cell) and email stay the same. At least, I don't think Verizon's going to make me change, but I actually don't know. I have to call them, now that I have a local address.
