Key Housing, a company known for identifying hard-to-find corporate housing in California, is expanding into Washington State and has named 'Lightbox' as its Featured Listing for the Seattle market for March 2026. The company is applying its proprietary methodology to Seattle, where housing can be equally difficult to secure.
"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."
Located at 4545 8th Avenue NE, Lightbox is near the University of Washington and major highways. It offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments for short-term and corporate stays, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and in-home washer and dryer units. Community amenities include a rooftop lounge with an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, and movie screen; a 24-hour fitness center; and controlled access with 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, Washington's strong business climate coexists with a housing shortage. Key Housing aims to bridge this gap by identifying properties that are not easily found through traditional channels.
