JAKE AND SPIKE

Video: Would You Live In A Micro Apartment

Mar 30, 2024, 4:00 PM | Updated: 4:28 pm

Micro-apartments or miniature studio apartments, sometimes even with communal bathrooms, are on the rise in Seattle. With a tough rental market and affordable housing feeling like a distant dream, would you live in a micro-apartment? Reporter Micki Gamez joins Jack Stine and Spike O’Neill to talk about why people make this decision, and some of the perks. She’s seen these spaces work! But Jack can’t imagine a more dystopian existence.

Tune in live to The Jack and Spike Show weekdays from noon to 3pm on KIRO Newsradio 97.3 FM. And if that timing, or our location in western Washington is inconvenient for you, we also have a daily podcast of the show.
