Hi
New here and introduced myself in the lounge - see "How I found DU"
I am looking to move to WA this month. I have hit a few WALLS.
I am looking for a place to stay for at least a week but a month to month is better.
I have a dog -Zeus. 100lb husky/golden mix. Neutered socialized smart
I am employed now -contract ends when school out. I have yet to have an employer want to interview me despite looking for the last month --i think due to distance. I am fully employable with good credit, a vehicle, equity from real estate sale.
I have had my MO real estate lic. so, by law I had to pass an FBI fingerprint background check -2014. Excellent references. I will be bringing a 5'x8'uhaul my hummer and my dog.
I am clean, quitting smoking cigs mid forties, female.
If you know a friend with a room I would appreciate an email or number to text. Or a vacation rental is ok but I cant pay $100 night. I would pay up to $1000 for the month for a studio or small home. Consider up to $800 for a room.
I feel safer asking here than Craigslist ads etc. ... crosspost ideas anyone? This appears to be the only place to post for this topic but not much traffic...???
Thanks!!

(4,492 posts)LOVED it and eventually hoping to return. (I was in Vancouver)
I found my arrangements on Craigslist. It was one bedroom in a house and I believe it was $800 (company paid). However, because I traveled by air there, the stuff I had with me was limited to one checked bag, one carry on, and one personal item. Despite my screen name, no felines with me.
