Hi there! I’m relocating to Washington at the beginning of March and am looking to rent an ADU, apartment, or cabin about 30–40 minutes outside of Seattle. I’ll be working a full‑time job, but I hope to have my own homestead one day, so I’m ideally looking for a living situation where I could help out around the property to gain hands‑on experience and offset part of the rent. I’d be happy to contribute about 2–3 hours per day, with additional availability on weekends.

Skills & Experience:
Vegetable gardening (bed prep, pruning, trellising)
Baking and cooking
Canning and food preservation
Knitting and sewing
Basic woodworking and carpentry
Experience with chickens and cows (feeding, watering, mucking, egg collection, and simple milking tasks)
Comfortable with greenhouse work

I’m dependable, handy with tools, safety‑minded, and genuinely enjoy helping out wherever needed.

Thanks so much for any thought y'all might have!

I'm looking to have my own homestead and teahouse one day, but in the meantime am looking to help out and learn on a farm while saving up money. If you know of anything, let me know! Thanks
