Code Interpretations for Fire Wall Continuity Rescinded

Based on recent discussions with architects and consultation with the International Code Council, SDCI has withdrawn two Construction Code Interpretations relating to Fire Wall Horizontal Continuity. (706.5: Fire Wall Horizontal Continuity and 706.5: Fire Wall Horizontal Continuity at Offsets). Our technical code team will be working on developing amendments to the 2024 Seattle Building Code to clarify the intent of this code section. Members of the public will have the opportunity to weigh in on potential changes by attending meetings of the Construction Codes Advisory Board.
