About this project

139 NW 85th St in Seattle's Greenwood neighborhood has carried two quite different residential schemes. The active land-use filing (3041001-LU) describes a 5-over-1 podium building with 15 SEDUs and 320 square feet of commercial space at sidewalk level. An earlier design guidance filing (3041032-EG) instead pursued an 8-story apartment building of 37 units over retail, with no parking, before it was withdrawn. An older construction record (6092995-CN) converted the site's house into an administrative office.

Aug 5, 2026 update—

A revegetation correction letter for the demolition permit (6909144-DM) was issued in August 2026, the second cycle on that record after a first cycle in May 2026. May 2026 also brought ordinance, structural, and geotechnical correction letters on the same demolition record, plus a stormwater control and soil management plan. The Master Use application (3041001-LU) stands at additional information requested, and the construction permit (6909143-CN) is in corrections, so the site remains a proposal.
