Serviced Accommodation, Aparthotels and Serviced Apartments in Washington

Why Choose Serviced Apartments in Washington?

The key to any business travel experience is accommodation. For travelling expats and corporates it is vital that they stay somewhere that makes them feel like they are at home, to avoid adding any unnecessary stress to their trip. Situ serviced apartments in Washington offer that 'home away from home' experience.

Thanks to a wide range of available facilities and amenities, serviced apartments offers a self-catered experience that ordinary hotels and B&Bs just cannot provide. Fully equipped kitchens enable guests to cook for themselves, whilst on-site washing facilities mean anyone can keep clean and look after their residence, without relying on staff. Guests can expect to also have their own parking space, as well as access to free WiFi, meaning they can easily work for home as and when they need to.

Our corporate, long and short term rentals in Washington are sparsely located too all over the state. This is so that bookers can pick and choose comfortably from a good selection of properties depending on where they need to be for work and business. Having such a broad range of high quality, conveniently located serviced apartments in Washington makes planning a business trip to the state just that bit easier.

Where is Washington?

Home to around 8 million people, the State of Washington is located in the Pacific Northwest region of the US. Of all 50 states Washington is the 18th largest, spanning over 70,000 square miles, and the 13th most populous. The majority of the population live in the state's largest city, Seattle which looks out onto the North Pacific Ocean via its port.

Just down the road are two of Washington's next most populous cities, Tacoma and Bellevue, whereas other major cities such as Spokane and Vancouver are to the east and south of the state, respectively. The state's capital, Olympia is in the southern section of the famous Puget Sound.

Being in such a northwestwardly region of the US, Washington is blessed with several national parks and forests. The North Cascades National Park and the Colville National Forest are located right along the northern border of the state, which is shared with Canada, whilst the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest is right in the centre of Washington. The popular Olympic National Park is surrounded by the North Pacific Ocean on the western coastline.

Cutting right through the middle of Washington is the Columbia River, which is beloved among the locals for the way it passes across the particularly mountainous terrain the state possesses. Much like the river, the interstate and US highways 2, 5, 12, 82, 90 and 97 are the main roads to pass through Washington.

Business in Washington

The State Department of Commerce for Washington simply describes the business climate and economy in the region as "we must be doing something right". This says almost everything you need to know about doing business in Washington, with over 250,000 people moving to the state each year.

Constant, high-quality performances across key sectors such as aerospace, agriculture, maritime, IT and life sciences highlight how stable the economy is here, where both long-standing businesses and recent start-ups can profit. What's more, the state does not collect a corporate tax or levy a personal income tax. Ultimately, the economy is 'growth-orientated', centred around industry specific tax incentives and a flexible tax structure.

It is no wonder huge businesses such as Amazon, Microsoft and Starbucks have located headquarters in Washington, especially when you have a hub of tech creativity in the area called the Puget Sound, second only to the Silicon Valley with regard to size and reputation.

The state of working life in Washington is another incentive for potential expats. Those who book stays in corporate serviced apartments in Washington will quickly learn how the region is blessed with a calm climate, a welcoming and diverse community and an environment that promotes healthy living. Being the largest producer of sustainable power in the US and a proud distributor of low-cost energy to businesses, making yourself at home in Washington is an attractive option.

Things to do in Washington

Each US state has its own distinctive qualities, and for Washington, it is its stunning landscapes. Of course, everyone who visits should take the opportunity to visit the major cities in the state, such as Seattle and Spokane, because amongst the hustle and bustle there are some fantastic, historic buildings which optimise the state's past and present-day togetherness, like the Capitol building in Olympia.

However, we believe it is the stunning terrain and landscapes that can take up the free time of a typical corporate traveller. Perhaps the most iconic is the Olympic National Park. Split into four different regions and spanning almost one million acres, this national park represents centuries and centuries of natural history. It is around a two-hour drive from the Seattle city centre but it really well worth a visit as an iconic attraction.

Other great trekking destinations include the North Cascades National Park and Mount Baker up north,  whilst Mount Saint Helens and Mount Rainier are both just slightly east of the city of Tacoma. These spots are amongst the most unspoiled landscapes in the country and are really the dream for the typical walking enthusiast.

Corporates staying in either long or short term rentals in Washington can relieve some stress and take their friends and family on a refreshing walk at any of these spots, and many more. The Puget Sound just off Seattle is really one of kind too if you are after a pleasant view whilst relaxing at a port restaurant or café.

Ultimately, being a state in the magnificent Pacific Northwest of America means Washington offers so many in terms of scenery, unlike many regions in the US. Living there does come at a little more of a cost, but the business climate and the beauty of Washington make relocating here an almost indescribable experience - that we definitely couldn't comprehensively describe in a guide!
