Extended Stay Vacation Rentals in Seattle: Corporate Housing, Relocation & Remote Work

Relocating to Seattle for a new job? Starting a three-month project at Amazon or Microsoft? Working remotely from the Pacific Northwest for a season? Need temporary housing while searching for a permanent home?
Extended stays require more than a hotel room. You need a real home with space to work, cook, and live not just sleep. Whether you’re here for 30 days or 6 months, the right accommodation makes the difference between surviving and thriving during your Seattle stay.
This guide covers everything you need to know about extended stay housing in Seattle, including corporate relocation support, remote work accommodations, monthly rental options, and why vacation rentals beat corporate apartments and extended-stay hotels.
Why Extended Stays Are Different (And Why Hotels Don’t Work)
Extended stays aren’t long vacations—they’re temporary relocations. Your priorities shift from tourist attractions to work-life balance, from maximizing sightseeing to maintaining productivity and normalcy.
The Extended Stay Hotel Reality
“Kitchenettes” Aren’t Kitchens:
A mini-fridge, microwave, and two-burner cooktop don’t cut it for 60 days. Real meal prep and hosting aren’t possible.
No Real Living Space:
Hotel rooms—even suites—force you to work, eat, sleep, and relax in the same 400 square feet.
Hidden Costs Add Up:
Parking, daily meals out, and laundry can push a $120/night stay into $3,000–$4,000 per month.
Professional Image Concerns:
Zoom calls from a hotel bed background don’t convey credibility. Hosting coworkers is awkward.
Lack of Community:
Hotels are transient. No neighborhood feel, no regular coffee shop, no sense of place.
