If your lot is 4000 sq ft or more, you may be able to build a backyard cottage. Check it out at www.seattle.gov/dpd/Codes/BackyardCottages/overview. Then call us at Phoenix Builders 206-760-8469 for a cost estimate and to help you design your cottage. Other towns in western Washington State also allow backyard cottages, also known as detached accessory dwelling units.
