ADU Questions, Answered
How much does an ADU cost in Bellevue or Seattle?
Most attached ADUs in the Bellevue–Seattle area run $150,000–$300,000. Detached ADUs (DADUs) typically run $250,000–$450,000+ depending on size, site conditions, and finishes. Blue Lake builds on a fixed-price, fixed-duration contract, so the number you sign is the number you pay.
How long does it take to build an ADU?
Plan on 4–8 months of construction after permits are issued. Permitting in Seattle and Bellevue typically adds 2–4 months, so a realistic start-to-finish timeline is 8–12 months.
Can I build an ADU on my lot?
Most likely yes. Washington's HB 1337 requires cities in urban growth areas — including Bellevue and Seattle — to allow at least two accessory dwelling units per residential lot. We verify your lot's zoning and utility connections before design begins and handle the full permit package.
Can I rent out my ADU?
Yes. Long-term ADU rentals are allowed throughout King County, and ADUs near Bellevue and Seattle commonly rent for $1,800–$3,000+ per month depending on size and location. Short-term rental rules vary by city — we'll flag what applies to your address.
