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.

The Moses Lake City Council gave final approval March 26 for the purchase of 40 Pallet Shelter structures to replace the sheds currently in use. The move has been in the works for some time, City Manager Kevin Fuhr said, but the city wanted to move quickly in order to get a good deal on the shelters.
“The Pallet shelters that we're purchasing, they don't make anymore,” Fuhr said. “They've got 100 available to purchase, and we're trying to secure 40 of them. That's why we wanted to get this done ASAP . because the new Pallet shelters that they're building are costing more money and we didn't want to pay more if we didn't have to.”
