SAVE THE DATE: South Seattle Home Fair

Once again, the Seattle Department of Construction and Inspections (SDCI) is hosting the South Seattle Home Fair.

Attendees can expect free information for renters, homeowners, and landlords with experts on rental housing rules, coaching on obtaining permits for renovations, and breakout sessions on topics including landslide prevention, backyard cottages, and earthquake retrofits, as well as SDCI’s permitting process, inspections, and code requirements.

This popular event is FREE and will take place on Saturday, February 23, at the Filipino Community Center from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

This year, SDCI will be joined by several other departments and organizations so that attendees can maximize their visit.

Seattle Public Utilities will be on-site to provide information and tools for recycling, composting, and reducing waste.

RainWise will help you find out if you are eligible for a rebate of up to 100 percent of the cost of installing a rain garden or cistern on your property.

Rebuilding Together Seattle will provide information about their program that provides free health- and safety-focused home repairs for low-income homeowners.

The Seattle Hubs table will be staffed by volunteers who can explain how the Emergency Communications Hubs function, where they’re located, and how to be prepared and communicate during an emergency. With these organizations in attendance along with several others, we’re sure to have answers for all of your questions.
