Source owner
City of SeattleNames the public source owner behind the active market.
How it works
Turn public permit activity into source-backed News items.
Permit News follows public Seattle permit activity, preserves source context, and packages the result so professional teams can review project fit, status, evidence, and next-step context.
Proof system
Each step preserves source context.
The product flow starts with a public record, then adds classification, review context, and a source trail before asking a professional to decide.
Evidence trail
Keeps source context close enough for a buyer to inspect.
Review movement
Turns comments, responses, holds, and status changes into readable signals.
Source evidence
Public record, review event, source trail

Source
Start with public permit and review records.
The useful input is not a scraped row by itself. It is the combination of public facts, dates, status, review notes, project type, and entity context that gives the record meaning.
Permit and project details
The record keeps identifying facts your team can use to verify the source.
Review-stage activity
Recent comments, responses, routing, and status changes become part of the review context.
Applicant, owner, team, and location context
Entity and place context help a professional decide whether the record fits their workflow.
Inspectable public source trail
Permit News shows why a News item exists instead of asking teams to trust a black box.
Package
Package the record as a News item.
Each News item is designed to show the permit number, project type, review status, evidence trail, contact path, confidence context, and role-specific relevance.
Decision
Review before your team acts.
Permit News helps teams decide which records belong in a workflow, which need monitoring, and which should be ignored.
