welcome to the most beautiful place in the country

...good place to start. Are you renting or buying?
Wallingford, Queene Anne, U-District, Ballard, Magnolia, Eastlake and downtown neighborhoods are all within a 10 minute bike ride to Fremont. Reasonable rental prices along with unreasonable real estate prices in all these hoods. I do have a friendd who is selling her 1bd condo real soon if that suits you. Will you be coming out ahead of time to scout? If so we'd be happy to show you around.
