Most of us wouldn't choose to live in such a small space, but Santos is out of work in Florida and is renting a $150 room. He is making the most of what he's got with low costs & tetris-like efficiency--good for him.

I love it all, especially the shelves, ladder & bathtub. More photos, please!

Michael Graves indoor clothes line & clothes horse by Target, as well as any piece of furniture for quick-dry, lightweight clothes when I run out of space on the clothes horse.

I have absolutely no problem unloading the machines. I've always lived in buildings with too few machines for the number of tenants, and you could wait all day for an open machine if you don't unload. I set a timer for the length of each cycle so I can be sure to unload my laundry immediately. I don't expect my neighbors to be as OCD, but I do expect them to be timely. If clothes are sitting in the machine I want for longer than 10-15 minutes, I'm unloading. Do I like it? No, not at all. But I value my time more than my dislike of touching others' clothes.

I have a teak queen daybed currently, and I would probably opt out of it if I had to live in a studio space for the reason lurker2209 noted--it would stand as a centerpiece but wouldn't help create a cohesive space. Additionally, the daybed would require just as many pillows as a non-daybed to be comfortable as a couch.

Does anyone really use the Yesler Terrace moniker? I usually just call it the CD or ID & loosely use Boren Ave & Jackson as the border. Just curious about that one. And does MLK count as a neighborhood of sorts?

Also, Licton Springs? That's a brand spanking new one to this area native/10 year resident. Same goes for Hillman City.

Denny/Blaine is also new to me. I've never heard anyone refer to that neighborhood using that name--it's either Madison or Madrona. If I were to give someone directions using the Denny neighborhood name, they would probably end up in the Denny Regrade/Cascade/SLU area.

1 for adding an outline of actual Greenlake the lake for reference & adding White Center. Incorporated or not, White Center is considered part of West Seattle.

Ork--Cool poster! Thanks for reading my nitpicking. Seattle yelp has a talk thread about this that you may find helpful http://www.yelp.com/topic/seattle-weigh-in-on-the-seattle-neighborhood-poster

I'll take a smaller version of that storage daybed.
