Seattle Evaluation of the 1998-2001 Demonstration Program for Innovative Housing Design
Seattle Department of Design, Construction and Land Use
To evaluate constructed demonstration projects, including cottages and detached ADUs, to inform future land use code changes.

The City of Seattle's evaluation of detached ADUs and cottages constructed under a special demonstration program found that with the right development standards, the housing types can positively add to Seattle's single family neighborhoods while providing more housing options. The evaluation also found that the majority of surveyed residents living near the demonstration projects found their impacts to be positive or neutral.

Summary Report for Waterfront Park and Housing
EDAW, with GGLO
Purpose: To determine use of a 1.4 acre site in downtown adjacent to Percival Landing (developed public waterfront boardwalk).

A charrette process examined park and housing use of the site. The conclusion of the charrette process was: 1) to develop the site as a park (various detailed park designs were proposed), 2) develop housing on additional City owned property immediately adjacent to the park site (moving the current surface parking to other publicly owned land close by), and 3) prepare a plan for additional housing on downtown area blocks adjacent to parks and Percival Landing (enough amenity appeared to be available to make newly developed housing projects feasible.)
