permitting
The permit issued to a homeowner is an authorization for the homeowner to do the plumbing work or to receive assistance from a friend, neighbor, relative or other person when none of the individuals doing such plumbing hold themselves out as engaged in the trade or business of plumbing. (See RCW 18.106.150)
Any professional applying for electrical permits must have a Washington State electrical contractor’s license and a Seattle business license. Property owners may do their own work when they own and occupy the property they’re working on.
Interpretation of RCW 18.08.410 (5) and (6) RCW 18.08.410 (5) and (6): Application of chapter The Board’s interpretation of RCW 18.08.410 (5) and (6) is as follows:
Persons not licensed as architects can design, build, and alter:
- Residential buildings regardless of the size of the building so long as it does not contain more than four dwelling units.

comments/questions by Tim
- What is the best view from inside the house?
- The laundry might best be in a less prime time spot.
- If you are gonna do all the work to raise the roof, you should get more out of it.
- I like the general program and the connection between your kitchen, porch and outdoors.
- A little piece of outdoor space for the tenant would make a world of difference to them.
- The addition would be an easy build.
- Putting a full bath in the lower level could be a nightmare. Is there a toilet down there already? A drain at floor level?
- How does the lower level bedroom feel. Should it get another window? I bet it used to be the garage.
- The yard is small, is it the best use of the site to push the building envelope into the backyard?
- The greenhouse would be on the west side? Where is the little arrow pointing north? I am disoriented.
- Does a porch in Seattle need to be screened?
- Where will garden(s) go?
