Problems resisting after City licensure lapse and subsequent renewal

I have had difficulty renewing my registration for short term rentals in Seattle because of the city's awful system. AirBnb cancelled my listing then when my registration lapsed. i am a Superhost and have a five star rating. I have endured many covid cancellations in the last year and have always agreed to fully refund guests without complaint. I have finally been successful in renewing my listing and have been calling Airbnb to get them to resist my listing to no avail after many days. Today I received an email saying that my listing was all up to date but still I can't relist my place. I have called and spent countless hours on the phone with at least six different agents with Airbnb and they all say they are going to resolve the issue. It keeps going on and on and on.  The same issue happened with VRBO and they graciously resisted my place in less than half an hour--it was so easy after I gave them the renewed city short term rental license. It is almost Christmas and Airbnb is still trying to get it assigned to a department that can make a decision.

Hi Robert did you have this resolved? I'm running into the same issue, wondering about if/how you got the issue fixed.

I'm having the same issue! Anyone having luck? Perhaps it's a mix-up with the city permits? I'd be interesting in organizing some Seattle hosts that are having the same issue to see what can be done.

Anyone else out there from Seattle having trouble?
