Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Snoqualmie, WA

Airbnb listings are allowed in Snoqualmie, WA, but with restrictions. Short-term rentals are defined as lodging for fewer than 30 nights; however, they are not listed as a permitted use in the citywide zoning table and are explicitly prohibited in specific developments like Snoqualmie Mill for terms under six months. Operators must comply with Washington state law (RCW 64.37), which requires $1,000,000 liability insurance, posting of emergency info/floor plans, and CO alarm compliance. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
