Locate boundaries before squeezing the plan
City web maps are approximate, not survey accurate. Establish dependable boundary information before designing a tight building placement or side access route.

Independent living begins with a thoughtful look at your established Shoreline home.
An ADU can give another household room to live on its own terms. Compare the potential of an existing basement or garage with a detached dwelling, then plan entrances, daylight and outdoor space as one property.
A property-specific proposal begins with your site and intended use.
Share your Shoreline address and the way you want the space to work.
REVIEW YOUR SHORELINE PROPERTY
A basement, garage and backyard offer different possibilities. In Shoreline, verify boundaries and tree questions before committing to a layout. Compare the routes, daylight and outdoor space each household would use from morning to evening.
City web maps are approximate, not survey accurate. Establish dependable boundary information before designing a tight building placement or side access route.
Shoreline asks owners to contact the city before removing trees. Review tree conditions alongside the footprint and construction access, rather than afterward.
A new DADU falls under the residential new-build checklist. Separate the questions about zoning, engineering and building design so the right reviewers can respond.
Bring the address and existing plans. Confirm the applicable jurisdiction before planning your Shoreline project.
BUDGET FOR YOUR SHORELINE PROJECT
Existing building conditions, tree considerations and service work can change a Shoreline ADU scope. Establish the proposed construction, permit responsibilities and material selections before reviewing a proposal for your property.

Area planner only. Construction pricing for Shoreline follows review of the property, design, site work, fees, allowances and taxes in your written proposal.
Review the Shoreline scope ↗Define what changes inside the house and outside it. Review construction access, utilities, structural needs and finishes together, with the design responsibilities and project exclusions explained in the written scope.
| Scope item | What your proposal should clarify |
|---|---|
| Design & engineering | Architect and engineering responsibilities, site documents, and any designer’s plan-license fees. |
| Permits & City fees | Applications, review fees, required permits and who is responsible for each cost. |
| Site preparation | Existing structures, demolition, excavation, access, drainage and any site-specific work. |
| Utility connections | Water, sewer, electrical service, connection routes and any required upgrades. |
| Interiors & selections | Cabinetry, surfaces, flooring, fixtures, appliances and the allowances for your selections. |
| Taxes & changes | Tax treatment, exclusions, payment milestones and how changes are priced and approved. |
The floor area is a planning input. Confirm the complete Shoreline project scope, exclusions and total price before construction.

THE SEATTLE DESIGN COLLECTION
Explore 183 Seattle ADUniverse reference entries; 31 include drawings, documents or layout galleries. Look for room relationships and efficient circulation, then return to your own lot. Seattle program status does not carry approval in Shoreline, where site review, current requirements and plan licensing remain necessary.
These 10 designs are listed as pre-approved in Seattle’s gallery. Site-specific permitting and a plan license from the designer are still required.
No designs match these filters. Try another size or search term.
We’ll help you explore access, site conditions, layout and construction for your property.
Seattle’s pre-approved designation is specific to the City’s program. For Bellevue or another nearby city, confirm the applicable local review and approval path.

Availability, approval and licensing must be confirmed with the City and designer. Catalog checked October 22, 2026.
This is Seattle’s ADUniverse collection. Its Seattle status does not establish approval for a Shoreline property. Plan licensing, local eligibility and site-specific permits must be checked with the relevant authority.

START WITH YOUR PROPERTY
The best starting point may already be within your house, or it may be outside. Compare the effects on both households before selecting an ADU form.
Tell us about your propertyA DADU offers physical separation. Plan trees, entrance routes and outdoor privacy alongside the building footprint.
Study how an addition changes the original floor plan while giving the new household an independent entrance and useful rooms.
A basement or garage conversion begins with the building's condition, daylight and access, followed by the requirements for independent living.
FROM YOUR SHORELINE ADDRESS TO HANDOVER
Boundary information and the existing home inform the design. Professional documents and city review then establish the construction path, with the schedule refined as actual requirements and choices become clear.
Review property records, boundary information, trees and the space proposed for independent living.
Develop entrances, windows, furniture zones and services with the appropriate design team.
Use the checklist matching the construction scope and coordinate the relevant building, planning and engineering information.
Sequence the agreed construction and trade work, with inspections and communication as the home takes shape.
Complete remaining details and required approvals, review operating information and explain the project documents.
The design team, reviewing authority, site conditions and material lead times shape your Shoreline sequence. We refine milestones as the documents and permit path become clear, then confirm the construction schedule in the agreement.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Understand what makes a dwelling independent, how property information is verified and which agencies handle the different pieces of a proposed project.
Ask us your questionNo. The city describes an ADU as an independent home with its own kitchen, bathroom, living area and entrance. Confirm the intended use before selecting the permit path.
The city's permit FAQs say mapped property lines are approximate and can be several feet off. Discuss appropriate boundary verification before relying on those lines for design.
Shoreline says plumbing and mechanical work can accompany the main building application; electrical permits are handled through Washington State Labor & Industries.
The city describes a pre-application meeting process through eTRAKiT. Preparing the requested materials lets different review disciplines comment on the concept before a full application.
Your Shoreline price is developed around the selected layout and property review. The written proposal should identify design responsibilities, site preparation, utility connections, finishes, allowances, exclusions, fees and taxes. The area planner on this page does not calculate a construction price.
