Portland, OR asked in Landlord - Tenant for Washington

Q: What do I do if my landlord knows my roommate has brought animals in that make me sick and hasn't evicted?

I have a roommate they brough in a cat and guinea pig in without telling/ paying for them to be there. It has been months and months of me telling my roommate the place smells and has been making me sick. I told my landlord and sent pictures of the animals cages, she came in and my roommate removed the animals while she was there.....she knows they are there though and said he did violate the lease. But now i cant find anyone to take over my room and she seems to be okay with the animals there even though in the lease agreement they are not allowed to be there and she can evict. Is there anything I can do? I can't live with it anymore and I feel like im out of options here.
