Short-term rentals have Moses Lake residents upset, but city may be able to help
MOSES LAKE — The prevalence of short-term or vacation rentals has upset some people in Moses Lake. “(There’s been) increased activity, a lot of vehicles and trailers,” said Moses Lake resident Rebecca Hutsell, who said her neighborhood has at least four homes available for short-term rental that she knows of. Traffic through the one entrance into her neighborhood can get hectic, she said. “Everybody wants to bring their trailers ... A lot of strangers in the neighborhood we don't know,” Hutsell said.
