    ADU & Backyard Cottage Builders in Issaquah, WA

    Licensed & Local · King County

    Quick answer · Issaquah ADU laws, 2026

    In Issaquah, King County, you can now build two ADUs on any single-family lot under Washington's HB 1337 (2023) — with no owner-occupancy requirement, no off-street parking mandate on smaller lots, and DADUs allowed up to 1,000 sq ft.

    Issaquah implements HB 1337's two-ADU-per-lot right with no owner-occupancy requirement and DADUs up to 1,000 sq ft. Hillside parcels frequently need a geotechnical report as part of the building permit — worth confirming during feasibility rather than after design.

    Issaquah pairs I-90 corridor job growth with some of the most varied lot terrain on the Eastside — valley-floor lots near Olde Town and hillside parcels toward the Highlands and Squak Mountain. ADUs here are popular for both rental income and multi-generational living.
