Small Family Looking for "Home"

[Bryan Krueger]

Hi Whatcome Transitioners!

We are a family of four, with two little girls (2 yo and 1 mo) and are currently in Spokane. We are heading to resettle in the "better half" of the state ;) very soon and are looking for a wonderful place to live. We would love to be in a cohousing/ ecovillage-type set-up, or just a great older single-family home in a very "transition" neighborhood. Do you know of anyone looking to rent their place? Are you looking to rent or maybe have a room? We are open, as well, to sharing a larger house with the right folks. 

A little about us: Bryan is a brewer (now at Boundary Bay), teacher, permaculture designer, plant-person; Clare is a at-home mama, yoga teacher, doula, extraordinaire; Edie (2) is so much fun to be around and has a bright, funny, cuddly personality; and Althaea (1 mo) is squeaky, wide-eyed, and loves to nurse. 

We would like to be w/in 5 miles of downtown, pay less than $1100/ mo, be somewhere scenic, with trees/ parks/ good market(s) around, and be able to garden or even install permaculture designs on the property. We are open to trade and other creative arrangements.

Thank you for helping us to offer our best in the amazing Bellingham area! It has been our dream for a while to settle here. Please let us know if you have any 'leads'.

Blessings,

Bryan, Clare, Edie, and Althaea

Hey there Bryan,
Have you checked out Bellingham Cohousing?
http://www.bellcoho.com/availability/availability.htm It looks like they
might have 1 - 2bd unit available.
Of course, craigslist is always a good place to start. I saw a couple options when I checked.
Good luck to you!! When you think you are ready to bye a home let me know :)

Thanks Shenandoah! We talked with them, but they only have 1 unit for sale at this point. We appreciate the lead.

Thanks for your replies folks! We found a place in Sehome with some fruit trees in the yard and wide gardening availability. Cool! We look forward to meeting many of you soon. We'll be fully local by Oct 1!
