What this source covers
Seattle SDCI publishes building, demolition, roof, grading and ECA/shoreline permits — including applications still in review — to its open data portal once a day, so PermitChime tracks permit status and the application, issue, expiry and inspections-completed dates, but not plan review results, inspections, fees or comments, because SDCI's plan review and comment datasets stopped updating in 2025 and it publishes no inspection or fee data at all.
