Are you ready to transform your backyard—and your finances, lifestyle, or family possibilities? Discover how building a detached accessory dwelling unit (DADU) in Seattle or King County can elevate your property, and why Apex DADU is the #1 team to bring your vision to life.
The DADU Revolution: Why Now?
Seattle’s housing market is rapidly evolving, and savvy homeowners are seizing the opportunity to add value and flexibility to their property by building backyard cottages. Recent changes in Washington State law (HB 1337) and Seattle/King County ordinances have unlocked unprecedented potential: now you can add two ADUs per lot, relax owner-occupancy restrictions, and realize faster permitting than ever before.
A modern DADU isn’t just an extra unit—it’s:
Steady rental income (average $1,800–$2,500/month for a 1BR in Seattle)
Expanded space for multigenerational living or guests
A future-ready home office, studio, or flex suite
Significant property value boost
A lasting asset for your family and legacy
