Thanks for the advise ! It makes sense to not risk it at all when there’s snow. So I’ve decided that unless the road is very dry and there’s zero risks , I will either take the detour via Portland or just truck the car back to Seattle

Reply to comment by RasterAlien in Any affordable housing by ProdigyofOne

When volunteering on the phones at my local foodbank, we had tons of clients where the person who owned the house had to take in roommates to pay their mortgage, taxes and insurance to afford to keep their home once they’d retired So damn sad.

I learned to drive in Wisconsin winters. Recently I did this same trip for the same reason. Fwd tho, it was quite snowy too. They required chains in the pass. I was comfortable, but I wouldn't try that in a new car without the experience I've had. Might want to look into transfer or be sure to keep an eye on the traffic conditions. Even with all that your biggest danger is other drivers with no experience in winter conditions driving in winter conditions.

Download Zillow, the southern east side of Washington has a lot of low income apartments that look fairly decent. They’re all in the 700ish range from what I’ve seen.

Yeah, Eastern WA may be cheaper but not cheap. Most 1 bedrooms here are going for 1K -2.5K a month. There is almost no housing here to begin with. If you haven’t bought a house 20 years ago you’re Probably not going to. I wouldn’t mind moving to TX if I could find a good job in my field.
