Chickens & Livestock
โFew RestrictionsSeattle is famously chicken-friendly. You can keep up to 8 domestic fowl (chickens, ducks, etc.) on any residential lot without a permit. Roosters are allowed โ one of the few major cities that permits them โ but they have to stay below noise ordinance limits, which effectively means you'll get complaints. Goats are permitted (up to 3 miniature goats on lots under 20,000 sq ft). Bees are also allowed with no cap on hive numbers. The main restriction is a 10-foot setback from neighboring structures for coops and animal shelters.
