My New Digs

Filed under: REVIEWS — zaiss @ 3:43 pm

I put a deposit down on my apartment yesterday. It’s a one bedroom (an upgrade from the studio in Pittsburgh), but its very spacious – tons of closet space, a huge bedroom, and an awesome patio that’s part of a shared patio but I have a little niche carved out just for myself. The apartment is at Avalon Juanita Village in Kirkland, Washington, which is on the other side of Lake Washington from Seattle.

The floorplan looks something like this but that isn’t exactly what mine looks like. I did take a couple of pictures though… first is the living room and a view of the patio outside. Second is a kitchen (I’m sooooo glad to have a full kitchen after living in the Arlington):

And the best part, hands down, is the three sushi restaurants in walking distance. I went to Salmon Creek for lunch yesterday and it was – in a word – DELICIOUS. I had tons of salmon, including the Mariner roll which was a shrimp tempura roll with spicy salmon and ginger on top:

I’ll be moved in by early July, so it’s time to come visit me and eat some sushi!

  1. Can I just say how beautiful the place looks. My goodness I hope I find something like that when I move.
