Federal Way Regulations
STRs are explicitly allowed in single‑family zones under a city interpretation, with clear online licensing (city business license + state DOR registration), basic consumer‑safety and insurance requirements, and no numeric caps—only operational rules like occupancy, parking, signage, local contact, HOA notice and weekly trash collection. The compliance path is known and manageable, but costs and obligations (e.g., $1M liability insurance and safety postings) keep it short of “very friendly.”
