Seattle landlords - what's your experience been like?

[Stacey H.]

Considering buying a STR property in Seattle instead of the Eastside, but I'm concerned about the city council - their laws around crime as well as landlord regulations. How has your experience been as a STR owner? I heard they're hard on landlords, but maybe not on STR owners - is that true? Also, has crime impacted your STR and guests?

@Stacey H., I have STR in Seattle and out of Seattle and had no issues. The vacancy is very low and mostly smooth operation. It slows a little during winter, but this is a normal seasoning thing.
