DPD has been asked to provide a Director’s Rule to assist owners of vessels and other floating properties currently moored in Seattle waters who seek to use those properties as residences.

Time to Trim Weeds and Vegetation
Overgrown vegetation can make sidewalk travel difficult and cause traffic hazards.

We rely on property owners and occupants to comply with code requirements for vegetation maintenance and will notify them of violations when we receive a complaint.
