AnonymousInactiveJJ, if it hasn’t already been mentioned, the tab at the top of the blog labeled *MORE* has a continuous, updated west seattle craiglist feed. There are always rentals in the mix and it can be easier to scan than the entire craigslist site.

charlabobParticipantThis really is an amazing community — I’m wondering, JJ, if you can’t negotiate staying a bit longer without any negative impact to your landlord. That is, if you need — even if it’s a short or forclosure sale, they’re not going to sell the house immediately…all of the various bailouts haven’t trickled to main street (or alki avenue) and they might like to have the income and to be able to sell an occupied house.
Haven’t done this myself, but I’ve heard of people stopping at “For Sale By Owner — price reduced” places and asking if they’d be interested in renting and wound up with a great deal on a house. :-)

JoBParticipantdon’t count on housing maps to show you everything on Craigslist in West Seattle. they were down for a while at least a couple of times this last year and they don’t seem to have as many postings.

mellaw6565MemberThe $1200 house I told you about is a 2 bedroom, so it probably won’t work for you. If anyone wants the address for the house to take a look-see, please PM me:)

yumpearsParticipantThere is a large white house on 47th Ave SW between Edmunds and Hudson that had a for rent sign up a few days ago. Bonus it that it is only 2 blocks down from Ercolini park. We live just north of Edmunds and there are a lot of kids in the area (including mine).
My son goes to Alki as well and I know that there is a school bus stop at 45th & Edmunds.
In the same area on 48th there is a smaller house for rent for $1,250, I think. Just saw the sign while walking the dog on Sunday.

JJetsonMemberOMG…thanks so much everybody! We spent the entire day driving around WS & checking out houses. We have a couple of possibilities and are hopeful. Charlabob…we have had several conversations with our landlord at this point…but the best we can determine is that he is 3mil in the hole and trying to somehow secure our current home for his family. Can’t say that I blame him but he is a tornado waiting to come barrelling down on us and we just want to get out of the way! All the suggestions have been wonderful. JanS appreciate the direct link to Craigslist. As soon as we sign a new lease I will let everybody know but until then all suggestions feel like hands reaching out to us…and we know it will all work out somehow/someway! Sorry to be so corny but it is the truth:)

AnonymousInactiveJust saw 2 more homes for rent (although not sure about price or size – just noticed signs).
One is on 35th Ave. and Hinds, the other on 36th Ave. and hinds.
Good luck.

JanSParticipantI saw the sign today fro the one on 36th…they didn’t have a price posted, but there is a number on the sign in front of the house. It’s a NICE house…good sized, too..I think maybe both signs were for the same place, as they were all down the arterial, with the address on them…

JJetsonMemberWSB Rocks! Filled out an app on our favorite house in our cluster! Waiting to hear…cross your fingers and of course we are still looking incase this one falls through

addParticipantDon’t know if you are still looking but there’s a 2bd/2ba for rent on 39th just a few doors south of Morgan. There is a large fenced yard and a nice view. This location is just a few blocks up the hill from the Morgan Junction so it’s a good location. The sign didn’t have a price. Hope things are working out for you!

SueParticipantThere’s a sign up also at 5009 Fauntleroy (just south of Hudson) that says it’s a 3 bedroom – no price listed.
