Areas we serve

Pierce and King County — and the rulebook changes between them.

We manage across both counties. That matters more than it used to, because a notice that's valid in one city can be void a mile down the road in another.

Why the address matters

Same portfolio, different rules.

A simplified view of what changes at the city line. This is general information, not legal advice — but it's why we track requirements per property rather than per client.
