What is the difference between a DADU and an AADU?

A DADU (Detached Accessory Dwelling Unit) is a separate structure from the main home, typically in the rear of the yard. DADUs are also commonly known as an alley house, backyard studio, or backyard cottage.

An AADU (Attached Accessory Dwelling Unit) is an accessory dwelling unit that is attached to or inside the main home, which is why they are often referred to as a mother-in-law or in-law suite.

Customizable to fit your needs, these 1,000 sqft* AADUs or DADUs can be used for a vast variety of purposes. These ADUs typically have their own bathroom, kitchen, and private entrance. Used as a rental unit, guest house, home office, or personal sanctuary, many people throughout Seattle are now taking advantage of this newly passed legislation. You can too.

*Garages and storage do not count towards the maximum 1,000 sqft limit.
