We found an apartment we can afford - any advice?

After 10 weeks of searching, we found an apartment we can afford in Seattle. I have been trying to stay organised about it. The landlord took a chance on us. Thanks for all the tips.

I am so happy for you and your family.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
