After three years of living in our original apartment we found when we first moved to Seattle, we started looking for a new apartment. We made a list of what we liked and didn't like about our old apartment and neighborhood and decided it would be a good idea to move. Our lease would have increased at our old place anyway, so it was good we had already resigned ourselves to moving.
Moving was a lot of work, but everything worked out well and we've put almost everything away. We really like having more space in the living room and an actual bedroom. The location is great and is still within walking distance to my work. It's actually a shorter bus ride for Troy from his work too. It's even a little cheaper than what we were paying for our old place. And we're about a 6 minute walk from the grocery store and tons of restaurants. The main drawback is that the bathroom is tiny and there isn't much storage or counter space. Otherwise I think we're pretty happy with it and are looking forward to making it feel more like home. Here are some pictures of the new apartment, during the move and after.
Here's a video tour:
We moved to Seattle in February 2008 and shared blog posts and photos during our first few years in Seattle.

I like the deck. From what I see, I think this place is better than your old place.
I actually think the view from this apartment is better than the view from your old apartment (after the Amazon building, of course.) Nice color green, what's it called?
Yeah it's nice to have a deck to go outside without having to leave the building. We need to get some chairs to go out there.
I think the color was called "Jericho." We got it from Ace Hardware.
Well I hope the wall you put it on doesn't come tumbling down.
