Hi nhhn, are you okay with having roommates? Many students post ‘ads’ or ‘seeking housing’ posts on Facebook groups in student organizations (ie Chinese Student Association) if they want to try to find roommates when they just come to the US. The contract for housing would depend on the students who live there, but it’s a good way to meet people who are from a similar background (ie other international students) or interest.

There is also classified ads online:
[Classifieds - The Daily of the University of Washington](Classifieds | dailyuw.com)
[Housing :UW Classifieds - washington.edu](Shibboleth Authentication Request)

The one from The Daily seems to not load all the way for me… not sure if anyone else is having that issue. I’ve used it before, and it’s helpful to look at this every now and then. With the other link, it looks like people are actually selling full out houses, haha. People update from time to time, so you could check back on this as well.
