Net new housing permitted in Seattle

Across all permits on record, Seattle has permitted a net +4,368 dwelling units (5,297 added, 929 removed).

How to read these numbers

Net units are what count for housing supply: gross additions minus demolitions and conversions that remove homes. A single permit can do both — a teardown replaced by a duplex removes one unit and adds two. Watch the neighborhood rankings too: citywide totals can mask how concentrated new construction is in a handful of areas.
