Lighting Design in Seattle: what's different here
Older Seattle homes near the bridges still have knob-and-tube wiring and undersized panels. Older Seattle homes usually have one ceiling fixture per room. We add LED recessed lighting, dimmers and under-cabinet lights with as few drywall openings as possible.
Permits and inspections
New circuits and recessed lighting are permitted electrical work; a like-for-like fixture swap usually is not. Seattle runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through Seattle SDCI rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Utilities
Electric service in Seattle is provided by Seattle City Light. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
