What a adu / dadu project looks like here

Roosevelt received Seattle's newest Light Rail station (2021) — triggering the most significant upzone in north Seattle with 2021-2025 redevelopment activity.

Because TOD design review applies to larger-scale projects near the station, permit complexity is higher than other residential neighborhoods.

The 1915-1935 bungalow stock near the station is specifically under redevelopment pressure — historic-district advocacy has been active.

Seattle's 2019 MHA rezone legalized DADUs (detached ADUs) + AADUs (attached) citywide — SDCI residential permit on standard path; MUP if ECA overlay. In Roosevelt specifically, craftsman bungalow stock means adu / dadu scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Seattle scoping flow factors roosevelt hub urban village and dadu + aadu by-right into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
