Seattle Backyard Cottages Approved: You may remember that I wrote about Seattle backyard cottages coming to a vote yesterday. The proposal was approved and city wide Seattle (unless you are in the Shoreline District) is allowed one ADU - either as a backyard cottage on lots that qualify in size (have to be more than 4000 square feet, etc.) or an ADU inside the house walls. You can only have one, but now there are more options than just your basement for an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) in Seattle!
Seattle Backyard Cottages and Real Estate: Are you interested in finding Seattle real estate that qualifies for a backyard cottage? There are already many firms stepping up to advertise their backyard cottage services. I look forward to seeing how this plays out! Density does belong in the city and this is a great way to make affordable housing as long as quality construction and design is respected! I know a perfect Greenwood home offhand that would be a great candidate and it is on almost a third of an acre!

Courtney, I'm glad to hear about the approval. As long as the added dwelling suits/enhances the property it's a nice solution to an obvious problem. I hope the approval has also addressed any local parking issues that may affect the neighborhood.
