WOW I really misread that. I doubt you can find anything in the state of WA for 20-30K let alone puget sound.

In the Seattle area, there is something very wrong with that house if it's going for 200-300K.

Only if you get a roommate. More than half of your income will be the payment + you'll have a new loan payment? That doesn't leave you with much cushion and opens you up for risk (what happens if you need a major repair done in six months?)

I suggest looking at mortgage calculators to look at what the total payment will be. Property taxes in Pierce County are super high, so be sure to take that into consideration with your monthly payment.
