Why it matters for your home
What's going up nearby
A new apartment building, townhomes on the next block, a commercial project down the road. See it when it's filed, not when the fences go up.
Changes on your street
A neighbor's lot being subdivided, a house about to be torn down and rebuilt. Follow each one from application to completion.
What it could mean for your home
New construction can change a neighborhood, and it can affect home values. Valyn can walk you through what the projects near you might mean for your home.
Straight from the permit records

Ask ValynQuestions
Is it free?
Yes. Visitors can browse Seattle projects, and a free account opens every city we cover and the full details. There is no paid plan.
Where does the data come from?
Directly from the public building and land-use permit records each city and county publishes, refreshed every day. Surroundings use public state and federal data. Records can be incomplete or change, so check the official record before making decisions.
Which areas are covered?
Right now: Seattle, Unincorporated Pierce County, Tacoma, Bellevue, Renton, Kenmore, Newcastle and Clyde Hill. Tacoma paused public access to its permit data in November 2026, so Tacoma shows records up to then. Coming next, with the data already requested: Kirkland, Redmond, Sammamish, Mercer Island, Woodinville, Shoreline, Lynnwood, Edmonds and unincorporated King County.
How often is it updated?
Permits are refreshed automatically every morning. Surroundings such as power lines and traffic noise are refreshed weekly, and safety data monthly.
Will a project near me affect my home's value?
It can, but every situation is different, and this site doesn't predict prices. Valyn can look at the projects near your home with you and explain what they might mean.
What do you do with my email?
It's used to sign you in, send the alerts you turn on, and let Valyn follow up about homes and projects in your area. You can unsubscribe anytime.
