Challenging to Investors
STRs are allowed in South Lake Union, but Seattle’s regime is high‑regulation: moderate permitting and inspection burden, strict unit caps (two units) with limited exemptions tied to continued/legacy operation, heavy tax load ($14/night STR tax plus ~10.25% sales and 8.5% lodging taxes), and 24/7 contact and reporting requirements—constraints that deter new investors and elevate compliance risk.
