Burien Considering ADUs
For any member interested, Burien is researching the potential of allowing Accessory Dwelling Units in the city.
This notice came from the Master Builder’s Association and is a precursor to what will be similar to the ADU option that the City of Seattle has begun in areas of South Seattle. While some people may not like the idea of ADU’s I personally view it as an opportunity for cities to offer additional and more affordable housing options, something that we need desperately here in the Puget Sound region. Particularly so in close in areas such as Seattle. Affordable living options near job centers can help reduce congestion, provide much needed housing for those that are in lower wage jobs (restaurant/tourism) in the city, improve options for multi-generational housing needs, and give homeowner’s options in having supplemental income to offset the increased price of housing in these areas.
