Housing Wanted in Ballard/Seattle Area

Hi Everyone,
My name is Brad Defenbaugh and I am a PT student from St. Ambrose University. I have an 8 week clinical in Ballard at Advanced Manual Therapy and I was wondering if anyone had an extra room available from July 28th-Sept 19th. I would only need to stay in the room from Mon night-Thurs night because on weekends I will be staying with my brother in North Bend. If you have a room or know someone who does, email me at

defenbaughb13@gmail.com

Thank You for the hospitality.
