What is an ADU?
(Accessory Dwelling Unit)
A dwelling unit located on the same lot as a single-family housing unit, duplex, triplex, townhome, or other housing unit.
Types of ADUs
AADU
(Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit) - An ADU located within or attached to a principal unit
DADU
(Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) - An ADU that consists partly or entirely of a building that is separate and detached from a principal unit
Why Now?
The Washington Opportunity
There is currently a housing crisis, particularly within the Puget sound region. The Washington state department of commerce estimates that 1.1 million homes will need to be built by 2044 in order to keep up with projected population growth
Game-Changing Legislation
New laws (HB 1337 & 1110) allow up to 4 units on most residential lots – a dramatic increase from previous single-unit restrictions
Fewer Restrictions
Elimination of major barriers like owner-occupancy and parking requirements
Faster Processing
Mandatory 60-day permit processing, cutting typical timeline by 75
Market Opportunity
Early-mover advantage before mandatory July 2024 implementation
