What shapes a project in Seattle
Local conditions worth knowing before scope and budget are set.
Eight historic districts
Seattle has eight historic districts, including Ballard Avenue, Columbia City, Harvard-Belmont, Pioneer Square and the International Special Review District. A Certificate of Approval must be issued before certain changes to designated landmarks or to properties within these districts.
Environmentally critical areas
Seattle regulates landslide-prone areas, steep slope erosion areas, liquefaction-prone soils and peat-settlement-prone areas as environmentally critical areas. The city offers an advisory map to check a property, and a topographic survey or geotechnical report may be needed to confirm conditions.
Seattle fault
The Washington Geological Survey notes that the Seattle fault lies beneath West Seattle and last ruptured about 1,100 years ago. Foundation and framing work on older houses is a practical time to review seismic anchoring.
