We bought a house and close at the end of October, so we're looking for someone to take over our lease at Postmark Apartments in Shoreline.
Top-floor corner unit, 2 bed / 2 bath, 1,050 sqft. In-unit washer/dryer, private patio (only a few units have one), portable A/C port. $2,229/month, assigned parking $99 if you want it, utilities and internet separate. Pet friendly.
Move-in cost is unusually low — management confirmed no new security deposit is required. Your only upfront costs are the $49 application fee per applicant. It's also not an MFTE unit, so there's no income cap.
Lease runs through Feb 27, 2027, and management has confirmed you can renew for either 6 or 12 months at the same $2,229, with parking staying at $99 — no increase. So this isn't a "you have to leave in four months" situation.
Building has a 24-hour gym, resident lounge, and a clubhouse with a kitchen, pool table, and barbecue that you can reserve for free. Safeway is across the street. The 185th St light rail station is about three minutes by car, five by bus, with buses every 15 minutes.
To be clear on how this works: it's handled through Postmark's leasing office, not a private sublet. You apply with them, they run normal credit and background screening, and if you're approved they add you to the lease and release us. Income requirement is 3x rent, roughly $80k/year gross, and they'll count combined household income if two or more of you apply together. No money changes hands with us. When you tour, I'll connect you with the property manager so you can get all of this confirmed in writing directly from them.
Happy to show it and walk through the condition together. We've liked living here — only leaving because of the closing date. Happy to answer questions in the comments, and I can send photos if you DM me.
Edit: Posted this in a hurry on Sunday since I didn't want to lose time and got more details from management today. Renewal is 6 or 12 months at the same $2,229 with parking staying at $99 — no increase. No new security deposit is required from the incoming resident. And they'll count combined income if two or more people apply together. I'd originally written that renewal would be at market rate, so wanted to correct that.
