The City of Tacoma attempted to get ahead of the housing shortage in 2018 when it relaxed the Accessible Dwelling Unit (ADU) regulations. Fast forward to 2021, and we take another look at what the process looks like first hand from Luke Shadduck, a client of broker Jenny Wetzel and someone who knows city code quite well; he reviews Tacoma building code for a living!
