This is a screening-level, self-reported estimate — not a permit determination. It's based on your answers plus general Washington and King/Pierce County law; it does not yet pull your parcel's official zoning, lot geometry, critical-area overlays, sewer/septic service records, or recorded covenants. Feasibility is not approval — final buildability is subject to city review and permits. A full report or a consultation confirms every item against real parcel data.
