The rent, $2,015+. Appropriate for a 2015 building. These one bedroom, one bathroom units fit in 694 square feet. When it's that new there's less to worry about, as long as the appliances are under warranty. It has views, location, and is pet friendly. Plus USB outlets for electronic pets.

For $2,014+ you get one bedroom, one bathroom, and a loft that fit in 791 square feet. They're proud of their "green cred", which may have something to do with the intricate garden. You may just be happy enough to live on Capitol Hill where creativity grows.

They emphasize eco-friendly and pet-friendly. Hopefully they are renter-friendly as long as you pay $2,013 on time. Built in 2006 in South Lake Union, makes them within walking distance of Amazon and REI, at least for some. Enjoy the purposeful lack of beige.

More new units in South Lake Union, this time starting at $2,013 for an apartment with 585 square feet, one bedroom, and one bathroom. Pet friendly, which is good to see. New is handy. Considering Seattle's housing, it will be interesting to see how quickly it fills.

A bit of Ballard goes very green: LEED Silver Certified, green roof, electric car charging stations, and pet friendly, too. A one bedroom, one bathroom, 718 square foot apartment rents at $2,011+. Being on Market Street means being close to restaurants and the water.

Close to Seattle University plus the Pike/Pine corridor, these one bedroom, one bathroom, 534 square foot aparments rent at $2,011+. Great for shopping and academics, maybe more for the profs than the grad students. Pets are welcome, though.

You and your pets can live on First Hill for $2,010+ in a one bedroom, one bathroom unit that is the largest on this list at 820 square feet. The extra space provides a den, a welcome addition when you need a new perspective, or a quieter corner. Enjoy easy access to I-5.

Be in Belltown in a one bedroom, one bathroom, 545 square foot apartment with shared laundry for $2,008+. More modern construction, this one built in 2013, means newer appliances and building codes. Close to a pet park, and equipped with the pet shower, too.

Maybe you need the U, and an extra bedroom. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, 750 square feet in the U District are available at $2,007+. Pets allowed. Laundry included. Maybe even views of Mt. Rainier. It is actually closer to I-5 than the campus, and that can be handy.

Ah, Fremont, evidently the home of a chicken coop on the roof. (That's for you to check out.) The main event is a one bedroom, one bathroom, 660 square foot apartment that rents at $2,007. Laundry included. Pets allowed, dogs & cats, that is. Chickens, well, check on that.
