In South Lake Union, $2,750 will rent you a one-bedroom loft, one of twelve in the adaptive reuse building at 325 Westlake. It boasts 17-foot ceilings (and windows to match), handsome built-ins, a master bathroom and a powder room, and in-unit laundry. Tenants share a roof deck. It has secure bike parking, but not car parking, although it’s pretty centrally located. Both dogs and cats are okay.

Head to West Seattle for a cute, blue, two-bedroom house renting for $2,695 a month. Pets are allowed, making the fenced backyard extra-handy, and a detached garage adds extra space for hobbies (or cars, if that’s what you’re into). It’s right on the weekday commuter 57 line, and not too far of a walk to more plentiful transit on California. Bonus: two bathrooms make for a more harmonious household.

No pets, though.
