Councilmember Mike O'Brien releases a proposal to make it easier for more homeowners to build backyard cottages and mother-in-law units. Councilmembers recently held community meetings and received a report, "Removing Barriers to Backyard Cottages," which helped shape the draft regulations being unveiled. Councilmember O'Brien (District 6, Northwest Seattle) will unveil the proposal outside of a backyard cottage in the Sunset Hill neighborhood.
