Relocation - Apartment hunting help

[stretchad]

Hi everyone - DH and I are OFFICIALLY making the move to Seattle, likely towards the end of September.
I'm working in SoDo, and am looking to live in West Seattle or Mercer Island in a short term lease situation (3-6 months)
Aside from the following apartment buildings, does anyone have any suggestions for places to check out that are big dog friendly?

West Seattle: Link Apartments, Mural Apts, Altamira
Mercer Island: 77 Central, Island Square, The Mercer

Thank you!

What kind of dog do you have?

We have two golden retrievers. They're older so they're not doing a lot of running around while indoors, but they certainly are used to living in a house and being able to bark at stuff.

Awesome! I can't seem to get any info on altamira...both times I've called I get voicemail and their website is crappy. I'm finding that as I call these places (when I do get a hold of them) that I am a little early for finding availability for the end of September so I might be a little early on the apartment hunting scene.

Yep, you are only required to give 20 days notice in the state of Washington - totally sucks when trying to move welcome to Seattle!

I have a coworker who lives on Mercer Island in an apartment. She has 2 dogs. I will ask her the name of her place.
Welcome to Seattle!

I am a lurker (Hi!) but wanted to chime in. We moved to Seattle recently and 77 Central was our temporary corporate housing until just a few days ago. If you have any questions about it, let me know The building is located in a great location for someone with a dog (we have a Golden Retriever too)--there are several parks nearby including Luther Burbank which has a off leash dog area and a place for them to go swimming.
