We’re Launching a New Permit & Site History Research Tool this Month

We’re very excited to announce that we’re launching our new Permit and Site History Research Tool this month. Please keep an eye on our Research a Project website for the new link!   

The objective of this new tool is to offer you a self-service tool that consolidates all our resources. It includes the following features:  

  • Locate a site either by address or map view  
  • Download a new site characteristics report that provides current zoning information overlays and other land use data  
  • Useful links to King County, Shaping Seattle and SDCI Property Information Map (GIS) webpages 
  • Clear depiction of the relationship between addresses and development sites  
  • Search results for all records via links to the Seattle Services Portal as well as our older permitting systems 
  • Search and download all available plans, documents and historical permits  
  • Ability to filter these results by date, record type and/or key word  
  • Links to provide feedback or report technical issues will be included on the support page. We welcome all feedback about your experiences using this tool and hope that you will take the time to complete the short feedback survey.

We have also created a two-page Permit & Site History Research Tool Quick Sheet that provides instructions for using and navigating the tool. As soon as the tool is available, the Research a Project website will be updated to include links to the tool and the Quick Sheet.

  We hope you will find this new tool to be clear, useful and efficient and helpful to your work. Happy researching!
