Backyard cottages will be allowed in single-family zones throughout Seattle under an ordinance approved unanimously by the City Council Monday.
"I think this legislation strengthens our neighborhood," said City Councilman Tim Burgess, adding it would help people provide housing for family members or to offer low-cost rental units. "That's a positive way to create affordable housing in our city."
"The right to have access to every building in the city by private motorcar in an age when everyone possesses such a vehicle is actually the right to destroy the city."
