Well, except for the part about 2-3 bedrooms and a dog-safe yard for $1000/month. Can’t be done in Seattle.

Portland… yes. it can be done here. Easily. And Portland is more dog-friendly than Seattle. Really. I didn’t think it was possible, but there it is. I have two poodles, and this is the first time I’ve ever taken them to restaurants. A lot of Portland restaurants have a dog patio! And every single Portland park has some off-leash hours. (Only a few are fully fenced though.)

And I know several people with GEDs and jobs that allow them to afford a small place here. And the alternative religion thing–believe me, NOT A PROBLEM ;-)
