DPD has created an internal staff committee to develop the 2011 Seattle Electrical Code. The 2011 Seattle Electrical Code will be a combination of the 2011 National Electrical Code and Seattle amendments. The committee is preparing a list of discussion items, code issues, and possible modifications to update the electrical code.
DPD Service Changes Reminder
As a reminder, DPD has changed some services for applicants and the public. The changes are necessary due to DPD’s significantly reduced permit-related revenue that resulted in a series of layoffs. New Hours for Applicant Services Center (ASC), Plans Routing, Public Resource Center and Microfilm Library (All of 20th Floor, plus Plans Routing area on the 21st Floor, Seattle Municipal Tower) are Monday, Wednesday, Friday – 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Tuesday, Thursday – 10:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
