Kirkland is an Eastside King County community known for its waterfront neighborhoods and strong housing demand, both of which make ADUs a smart investment for homeowners. Washington's HB 1337 eliminated owner-occupancy rules and streamlined ADU permitting statewide, giving Kirkland homeowners more room to add a backyard cottage or attached unit. The builders below serve Kirkland and the surrounding Eastside.
