Shauk, good luck. My life has been filled with less drastic measure of what you are doing/planning.
I left a house that sounds very similar to your current living situation with no money for a downpayment on a new apartment. The back of my car and couches were my home for two months before I snagged a tiny hole in the wall apartment by myself. That was the best decision I ever made in my life. Taught me that I could get by by myself, and that I was much happier living on my own. If you had not already made the decision to go to Seattle, I would say take smaller steps and find a place where you can live on your own without roommates (it is a great thing), but I also picked up a peddle bike last year with the resolve that by the time I made it to Vancouver I was going to be working a new job and have a new life in a town I biked through on the way. Which is exactly what happened. Best experience of my life.
Whatever happens, if you're not happy, don't settle.
