"How would a free apartment for one year help you reach your goals in 10 years?" is the question contestants will need to answer in a 350-word essay, and the winner will receive a chance to live in a one bedroom apartment in Seattle's Queen Anne/Magnolia or Ballard neighborhoods.

An anonymous building owner has trusted Walls Property Management to facilitate this contest, which began at the start of the new year. Thanks to their generosity, this opportunity will put a lucky winner at ease. They hope to inspire other landlords to offer similar acts of kindness.

Emily, a student from Seattle Pacific University, won last year and this opportunity allowed her and her daughter to live a better life without the financial pressure to live comfortably as all people should rightfully be able to do. Now they still reside in the apartment at a discounted price.

Submissions can be entered in an online form (here) or emailed to essayforfreeapartment@wallspropertymanagement.com
