I live in Tacoma and commute to Redmond almost every day for school. To reduce the commute, I've been looking for a place to stay in Redmond during the week. But it's really hard to find a place with a budget of less than $350/mo.
This is where you come in.
I have a 28' trailer at my disposal (Thanks Dad!) with amenities like: king size bed, propane head, cook stove and oven, refrigerator, bathroom with septic system. I am looking for somewhere safe in or near to Redmond to park it for around $200 a month (with an electrical hookup/extension-cord preferred).
Do you know someone with property that could use a little extra cash? Please pass this along.
You know what would be even better than a parking spot? Somewhere indoors to sleep 4 nights a week! I don't need a lot of space. Just a bed (I can provide that). I won't be bringing a bunch of furniture or pets... I don't need to worry about permanence, don't need to sign a lease, and probably only need the place for a few months. I won't even be there most of the week. Just evenings Mon-Thurs. I can afford $250/mo on my current budget. And once I'm in Redmond more often I can work more hours which means I could pay more.
Starting Jan 6, I'm going to be commuting 5 days a week, often through the worst time of day for traffic. If it takes me 1 1/2 hours to commute one way, that's 3 hours commute per trip (plus $10 gas). At that rate, I'm wasting 15 hours sitting in my car each week. That's more than the homework load for 2 classes!
I've been doing this commute (3-4 days a week) for 2 years now. I'm hoping to work something out so I don't waste so much time and money.
Please do what you can to help. Heck, even a couch to sleep on once a week would be an improvement.
Thank you for your time, and please share this post.
