Key Housing, a provider of corporate housing solutions known for identifying hard-to-find properties in California, has announced its expansion into Washington State, naming 'Lightbox' as its featured listing for the Seattle market in March 2026. The company aims to apply its proprietary methodology to help business travelers and professionals secure short-term housing in a city where demand often outstrips supply.
According to Bob Lee, President of Key Housing, finding short-term housing in Seattle requires insider knowledge. '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,' Lee said. The company's approach involves client interviews to understand specific needs, then matching them with suitable properties using its proprietary methodology.
Lightbox is located at 4545 8th Avenue NE, near the University of Washington and major highways such as I-5 and SR 520. The property offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments with modern interiors, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood-plank flooring, in-home washer and dryer units, and large windows providing natural light and views of Seattle. Smart home technology and high-speed internet cater to remote workers. 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, with major employers including Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and the University of Washington. However, the strong business climate creates a paradox: finding accommodation can be challenging. Key Housing's expansion aims to address this gap.
