The top half of this Wallingford duplex a couple of blocks from Gas Works Park has two bedrooms and is renting for $2,450 per month. That comes with 1,000 square feet of space, off-street parking (and it’s a couple of blocks from buses), and in-unit laundry, plus access to a yard with space for gardening and barbecues. No word on pets.

In Capitol Hill, this top-floor, two-bedroom apartment with a large balcony and 800 square feet is going for $2,495 per month. The kitchen is decently sized and laundry is shared. It’s close to light rail and buses, but parking’s available for extra if that’s a concern. No pets, though.
