Everett-Specific
Why Everett is ADU country
- Two ADUs allowed on most residential lots under Everett’s code implementing HB 1337
- Up to 1,000 sq ft detached — enough for a real two-bedroom cottage
- No owner-occupancy requirement — rent both units if you choose
- Condoization path — Everett allows separate sale of ADUs via condominium declaration
- Streamlined permits — Everett’s permit center handles ADU applications routinely
Everett rental market: one-bedroom ADUs typically rent $1,400–$1,900/mo, two-bedrooms $1,800–$2,300/mo (2025–2026 ranges). Costs: ADU cost guide →
