deductions for living expenses and rent when indefinite job in another city

I work in another city, 400mi from my residence, two weeks out of the month. I rent an apartment there which I use exclusively for a permanent job. I travel by car and plane. 

I do have a small business that produces <10% of my income, and also use this space for that. But the majority of my work there is for my permanent employment.

Can I deduct rent, travel, food, utilities from federal taxes?

I live in WA and don't have state taxes.
