GREAT CENTRAL LOCATION: Just minutes to the State Capitol Campus, downtown Olympia, Evergreen State College, St. Martin’s University, MultiCare Capital Medical Center, Kaiser Permanente Urgent Care, and St. Pete’s Hospital. Only one block to the #21 bus, for an easy trip to any of the above, as well as connections to Tacoma and Seattle. Only three blocks to the San Francisco Street Bakery (if you don't know it, a local gem!). The Northeast Neighborhood is a diverse, walkable and bikeable area known for its friendly community, abundant hidden pathways, and proximity to downtown and parks. Residents enjoy tree-lined streets and a strong sense of neighborhood involvement - including community gardens, efforts to improve walkability, and artistic celebrations. The area offers a mix of housing, from more affordable options to waterfront homes, and is recognized for its community spirit.
ABOUT THE AVAILABLE ROOM: 120 square-foot (10’ x 12’) main floor, unfurnished bedroom with two large windows (facing north and west) and a unique interplay of light and shadow. Has shade from a big blue spruce tree, new honeycomb insulating window blinds, a small walk-in closet with its own little window, and is nicely carpeted. If you don’t like the paint color in the bedroom, I am willing to repaint it a neutral color.

Conditionally refundable deposit is $515, and non-refundable move-out carpet cleaning fee for the room is $50. You will also pay your 1/3 of monthly utilities, Xfinity high-speed internet, and a bi-weekly professional house cleaner for the common areas (this total ranges seasonally from around $170/person/month on average in the warmer months, to around $200/person/month on average in the colder months).
ABOUT THE CURRENT INHABITANTS (YOUR POTENTIAL FUTURE HOUSEMATES), THE HOUSEHOLD, AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD: Owner lives in this home and is an employed professional who works weekdays from home. The other housemate is also female. Owner’s 9½ year-old female Labradoodle is very friendly and sociable. Household is pleasant, peaceful, quiet, active, outdoorsy, people and eco-friendly, creative, clean & tidy, health conscious and into intentional and balanced living. The neighborhood is also calm, peaceful, and quiet.
ABOUT YOU: You will be able to provide proof of income of at least three times the amount of the monthly rent; able to pass a background check; and you will have excellent housemate and landlord references. You’ll also be clean and tidy, respectful, mellow and pretty quiet; absolutely non-smoking, non-vaping, and non-drug taking; show excellent communication skills; and be dog-friendly. Sorry, no more pets.
I much prefer a longer-term house mate to a shorter term one, but am only asking for a month-to-month commitment.
