Moses Lake Regulations
Short‑term rentals are allowed in most residential zones with a clear, step‑wise licensing path (STR endorsement plus city and state business licenses) and a standardized inspection. Requirements are specific but manageable: occupancy/parking limits, local contact rule, and periodic reinspection, plus progressive enforcement with no cap on total STRs. Overall supportive, but not laissez‑faire—moderate permitting, fees, and rules keep the grade in the B range.

About Moses Lake
Moses Lake is a city in Grant County, Washington, United States. The population was 25,146 as of the 2020 census. Moses Lake is the largest city in Grant County. The city anchors the Moses Lake Micropolitan area, which includes all of Grant County and is part of the Moses Lake–Othello combined statistical area. Moses Lake, on which the city lies, is made up of three main arms over 18 miles (29 km) long and up to one mile (1.6 km) wide. It is the largest natural body of fresh water in Grant County and has over 120 miles (190 km) of shoreline covering 6,500 acres (2,600 ha). Before it was dammed in the early 1900s and then incorporated into the Columbia Basin Project, Moses Lake was a smaller shallow lake. To the south of the town is the Potholes Reservoir and the Columbia National Wildlife Refuge that has a number of seep lakes and vast amounts of migratory birds and other fauna natural to the area.
