About this project
An 8-story apartment building totaling 34 homes — 20 small efficiency dwelling units, 3 efficiency dwelling units and 11 apartments — with parking for 2 vehicles is proposed at 818 NE 42nd St in Seattle's University District, replacing an existing structure. The scheme went through early design guidance (3027511-EG) and won its Master Use Permit (3027511-LU); a later Master Use application (3036659-LU) for a larger 45-home version was withdrawn.

The construction permit (6784532-CN) is awaiting information and the demolition permit (6784533-DM) has additional information requested, so the project remains a proposal in permitting.
