A Fence Builder's Guide to Bryant, Seattle
Bryant is a residential neighborhood in northeast Seattle. Citing the City of Seattle's neighborhood maps, Wikipedia describes it as bounded by Ravenna to the west, Laurelhurst and Windermere to the east, and View Ridge and Wedgwood to the north.
For a fence builder, the first questions on most lots are where the lot line runs, how the front setback applies, and which trees the posts must avoid.
Trail and park edges
Wikipedia says the Burke-Gilman Trail runs along Bryant's southern and eastern margins, and Bryant Playground sits at NE 65th Street and 40th Avenue NE. Yards that back onto a path or park usually want a finished face and a gate that latches.
Older lots, older fences
Established lots can carry old fences, walls, and hedges along the line. We check what is there before planning a new run.
Seattle fence rules in brief
Seattle's fence guidance says no permit is needed for a fence 8 feet or less without masonry or concrete elements over 6 feet. In neighborhood residential zones the zoning code limits fences to 6 feet, or 4 feet in a front or street-side setback.
