Key Housing, a corporate housing provider known for locating hard-to-find properties in California, is expanding into Washington State. The company has announced 'Lightbox' as its Featured Listing for the Seattle market for March 2026. The move reflects the company's strategy of applying its proprietary identification process to new cities where housing is scarce.
"Finding short-term housing almost requires 'insider information,'" said Bob Lee, President of Key Housing. "Our team works like detectives. They identify properties that are hidden gems. We have expanded to Seattle. 'Lightbox' was chosen because it offers the right balance of location, comfort, and amenities."
Lightbox is located at 4545 8th Avenue NE, near the University of Washington and major highways. The property offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments for short-term and corporate stays. Interiors feature quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and wood-plank flooring. In-home washer and dryer units, large windows with views of Seattle, smart home technology, and high-speed internet are included. Community amenities include a rooftop lounge with an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and movie screen; a 24-hour fitness center; a resident lounge; controlled access; package lockers; bike storage; and electric vehicle charging stations. The building is pet-friendly.
Seattle attracts business travelers from industries such as technology, healthcare, aerospace, higher education, and global trade. Major employers include Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and the University of Washington. The paradox is that Washington has a strong business climate, but it is hard to find a place to sleep at night. Key Housing aims to solve this by leveraging its expertise in identifying hidden gems.
