Seattle ADU Requirements (kind of like a MIL Mother In Law, but Not)
Thinking about converting your basement or attic into rental income?  Seattle has a great policy for allowing accessory dwelling units (ADU) on residential properties.  This is a great way to be able to rent out part of your home and allow someone to legally live in a separate part of your home while you live there. Additionally, you can live in the ADU yourself if you choose and the renter can live in the main home.  It doesn't matter as long as you stay within the city's guidelines for establishing an attached accessory dwelling unit.
Seattle ADU rules, rquirements & guidelines (you have to meet all of them although there are some variances allowed if applied for properly): 
1. the home has to be occupied by one or more owners and the owner has to have at least a 50% interest in the property.  Additionally, the owner occupant has to live there for at least 6 months a year.
2. Unless all residents in both units are related to each other, the limit is eight people in the entire structure.
3. One off street parking space must be provided for ADU( you can apply for a waiver on this one).
4. Only one ADU ... more
