Seattle city council is scheduled to vote at their 2:00 pm meeting today on a host of measures meant to increase the number of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and detached accessory dwelling units (DADUs). The proposed code changes and amendments will be voted on individually.  Given the makeup of the city council and support from the Mayor, all of the measures in favor of increasing the number of ADUs and DADUs are likely to pass. Once they pass implementation will take place some time between August and November of this year.
