About the sign on 4029B: we have placed a “No Short-Term Rental” sign on 4029B as part of our compliance with Seattle regulations. Seattle recently updated its rules for multi-unit properties, allowing only two short-term rental permits for eligible Seattle residents. We currently operate only one studio unit as a short-term rental, while the neighboring units are occupied by mid-term renters. The sign is simply part of our compliance measures and does not affect your stay in any way. It helps demonstrate that the property owner is following the city’s current regulations.
