Survey on Short Term Rentals <br /> 187 Short term rentals have negatively affected property values for Snoqualmie pass. Property 2/6/2025 8:43 AM <br /> values have sky rocketed, taxes have gone up. There is a huge lack of affordable housing for <br /> young people who may want their first home. It's unfortunate that this survey won't even do <br /> anything for Snoqualmie Pass, Kittitas county could care less about supporting an <br /> unincorporated area, even though we also pay taxes. <br /> 188 Do not regulate 2/6/2025 8:42 AM <br /> 189 There is some serious price gouging that happens. Pretty outrageous and it take housing from 2/6/2025 8:42 AM <br /> people in the community and gives it to rich outsiders. <br /> 190 O 2/6/2025 8:38 AM <br /> 191 Nothing wrong with short term rentals 2/6/2025 8:36 AM <br /> 192 Do not over regulate strs or you will have unintended negative consequences. Chelan county 2/6/2025 8:34 AM <br /> has over regulated thinking it would make housing affordable and it has not. Instead it has hurt <br /> the tourist indusrty. <br /> 193 Having a sheriff that can help with noise control and safety is vital. But I worry restrictions on 2/6/2025 8:27 AM <br /> short term rentals will negatively impact my home value <br /> 194 The amount of STR need to be regulated for the health of our county and communities. 2/6/2025 8:25 AM <br /> 195 We need more support in upper county-we don't have the resources we need to handle safety 2/6/2025 8:22 AM <br /> concerns in a timely manner. Please limit short term rentals on Snoqualmie Pass!!! <br /> 196 STRs need to be capped and better controlled. It is out of control in Roslyn ridge. 2/6/2025 8:16 AM <br /> 197 People showed up at the rental next to us and were shooting guns off the deck inside our 2/6/2025 8:13 AM <br /> community, which is an HOA that doesn't allow shooting The land they were shooting over was <br /> our property where our dog was playing. They simply do not care about our regulations <br /> because they are not part of our community they think coming here lets them do whatever they <br /> want to because it's not the west.side. People think that kid attacks County doesn't have <br /> property boundaries and they can ride whatever motorized vehicle they want across property <br /> lines with no repercussions. <br /> 198 There is a significant lack of affordable long term rentals in the area. STR only take away from 2/6/2025 8:09 AM <br /> the members of the community who work to keep the local resources available and operating. <br /> 199 We could not afford to own our home if we couldn't supplement our income with rental income. 2/6/2025 8:09 AM <br /> Unfortunately when I list our rental as a long term, most people that work up here cannot afford <br /> the long term price(which only covers our expenses).When I can't rent it long term, I list it <br /> short term to make something. Sadly, it's the ski resort that pays poorly. Please don't punish <br /> home owners trying to make a living when the reason for a lack of affordable housing is a state <br /> issue and local employer issues paying poorly. Thanks <br /> 200 i think we need more housing overall, not less airbnb. many people(like us)would not consider 2/6/2025 7:57 AM <br /> long term but we would consider short term rentals which would benefit the economy <br /> 201 These properties would not provide housing for employees We have a smallapt rented full time 2/6/2025 7:54 AM <br /> 202 Short term rentals allow for family and friends to visit local residents. We live in an area where 2/6/2025 7:45 AM <br /> there are no hotel options. (Aside from Summit Inn which is not clean.) <br /> 203 Including a requirement that the owner live with 20 minutes of the rental would be a good idea. 2/6/2025 7:45 AM <br /> This would help insure the owner is an active member of the community and has a vested <br /> interest in the community not just a place to make money <br /> 204 Kittitas is a vacation destination.We need to find away to provide short term rentals and 2/6/2025 7:42 AM <br /> protect communities and neighborhoods. <br /> 205 1 am a Local business manager&a local long term renter. I have worked here 10 years, lived 2/6/2025 7:39 AM <br /> here for 5. Have a deep care for the community and hate to see it following in the footsteps of <br /> other ski resort towns where everyone is priced out, and there is garbage everywhere, no <br /> community, etc <br /> 206 Short term rentals are absolutely a drain on the county and hurt working class people. 2/6/2025 7:29 AM <br /> 207 Housing is expensive period, short term rentals are not the problem. 2/6/2025 7:22 AM <br /> 81/96 <br />
