Seattle ECA's (Environmental Critical Areas) / by Josh Brincko

If you have a property in Seattle that has an environmental critical area on it, or even somewhere near it, this video is for you. Examples of ECA’s are steep slopes, landslide prone areas, liquefaction zones, peat settlement zones, wetlands, etc. It doesn’t matter if your project doesn’t affect your ECA or if the ground has “just a small slope” or “the soil seems fine.” If there’s an ECA classified on your property, we will have to help you jump through some hoops. This explains how we do it. Projects outside of Seattle also commonly need to go through a similar process.
