Draft 2009 Seattle Building, Existing Building, Mechanical, and Fuel Gas Codes Available
Public review drafts of the 2009 editions of the Seattle Building Code, Seattle Existing Building, Seattle Mechanical Code and Seattle Fuel Gas Code will be available in mid-October or early November. The drafts will be distributed as pdf files. If you would like a copy, contact Maureen Traxler at maureen.traxler@seattle.gov, and be sure to specify which of the draft codes you would like to receive.

What Will the 2009 Codes Add to the Cost of Construction?
As DPD is reviewing the draft 2009 building, residential, mechanical, fuel gas, and energy codes, we would like to hear from you if you have concerns about the cost of any of the new code provisions. Contact Maureen Traxler at maureen.traxler@seattle.gov with your comments.
