Key Housing, a provider of corporate housing solutions primarily in California, has announced its expansion into Washington State, naming 'Lightbox' as its Featured Listing for the Seattle market for March 2026. The company, known for identifying hard-to-find housing, is applying its proprietary methodology to cities like Seattle, where housing can be equally challenging 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.'
Lightbox is located at 4545 8th Avenue NE, near the University of Washington and major highways I-5 and SR 520, providing easy access to the greater Seattle area. The property offers furnished one- and two-bedroom apartments for short-term and corporate stays, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, blonde and wood-plank flooring, in-home washer and dryer units, large windows with natural light and city views, smart home technology, and high-speed internet. 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 across industries such as technology, healthcare, aerospace, higher education, and global trade, with major employers including 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, making Key Housing's expansion timely.
