New Seattle build‑outs for your trade, every Monday.
When a restaurant, clinic, shop or office is about to move into a Seattle space, the city issues a building permit first, weeks or months before it opens. We read every new commercial permit and send you a short list of only the projects your business can bid on: the address, the incoming tenant when the permit names it, the budget and a link to the city record.

For trades that work on new commercial spaces
A permit shows a project before the space opens, while the tenant and the contractor are still choosing who does the work.
- Sign companies
- New restaurants, shops, clinics and gyms that need exterior signs, window graphics and lobby signs before opening day.
- Low-voltage and security
- Office, medical and retail fit-outs above $100k that need cabling, Wi-Fi, access control, cameras and AV before move-in.
- Other trades
- Commercial cleaning, office furniture, and other suppliers to new commercial spaces: tell us what you do and we'll check whether the permits fit.

Questions
Permit data is public. What am I paying for?
The city's data is free, but it mixes every kind of permit, from house decks to university labs, and the useful detail is buried in long descriptions. We read the new commercial permits each week, keep the ones that fit your trade, pull out the tenant and the project and send a short list. You get five minutes of reading instead of an hour of searching.
How many projects will I get?
Seattle issues about 25 commercial permits a week. After filtering, most trades get roughly 5 to 15 relevant projects a week. It varies with the season.
Does the list name the contractor?
Usually not: Seattle's open data rarely includes the contractor. It often names the incoming tenant, and every row links to the city record, where you can see the applicant and the plans.
Which areas do you cover?
The City of Seattle for now. If you work across King County or the wider Puget Sound and want more, tell us.
Can I use the list for outreach?
Yes, for your own business. You can't resell or publish it.
Who is behind Siftdata?
Siftdata is a small, independent data business that turns public records into weekly lead lists. We work remotely, which is why our legal address is in Norway, and we bill in US dollars through Stripe. We're not part of the City of Seattle. Every row in every list links to the city record, so you can check our work in one click.
How do I cancel?
Email [email protected]. We stop before your next payment, and you keep the lists you've had.
