About sharing a place in Seattle

Seattle's tech boom pushed median 1-bed rent past $2,100. Splitting a 2-bed in Capitol Hill or Fremont is the smart play for Amazon and Microsoft workers, UW grad students, and remote workers who'd rather live somewhere walkable. RoomieHunt makes it easy to find someone compatible.
