]]> Free Virtual Workshop: ADU/DADU 101 https://www.seconduse.com/2021/03/free-virtual-workshop-adu-dadu-101/ Fri, 19 Mar 2021 20:25:21 +0000 https://www.seconduse.com/?p=3396117 Saturday April 10th, 2021 from 10am-11:30pm presented virtually via Zoom

The City of Seattle recently changed the rules on Accessory Dwelling Units (and Detached Accessory Dwelling Units) for single-family zoned lots. The options for these ADU/DADU are only limited by the imagination. These units could be used as homes to house renters or extended family, but also home offices or other bonus spaces. Come learn a few basics on what an owner needs to think about before jumping in on an ADU or DADU project, and why building material reuse is a perfect resource for when you decide to move forward with a new dwelling or bonus space on your property.

Laura Elfline of Mighty House Construction will lead this discussion on how you might take advantage of the new zoning changes in our city.

This workshop will be presented virtually via Zoom. To join this workshop and receive the Zoom meeting link, please RSVP to outreach@seconduse.com.
