March 2026 Builders Bulletin: Building Permits Slowed in 2025
The March Builders Bulletin features recently released permit data for the Seattle metropolitan area through December 2025. Our three-county metro area (King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties) ended the year with 12% fewer total permits issued than the previous year. This figure reflects a 5% decline in single family permits and a 16% drop in multifamily permits.
Despite the regional slowdown, King County saw a modest bump in single family permits in 2025 while Pierce County experienced an increase in multifamily permits. See the Building Permits section for a complete breakdown by county.
