There are essentially Airbnb hotels in Seattle too (e.g. JMFM+R8 Seattle, Washington), I wonder if they’re in violation as well.

You could find out if interested (Department of Finance and Administrative Services contact info on that page, who regulates short term [ie AirBnB] accommodations).

This actually sounds like it could make for a really interesting endeavor in open records requesting for anyone who geeks off on that sort of thing (looks around...oh wait I guess that's me).

I look forward to your results!
