What a garage conversion project looks like here

Madison Park is Seattle's premier elite Lake Washington waterfront — 1920-1970 estate homes with private docks.

Because the Shoreline Master Program governs waterfront construction, new docks require state and federal permits that can take 20-40 weeks.

Washington Park Arboretum adjacency adds Parks Department coordination on some east-side parcels.

Seattle's 2019 MHA update allows garage-to-DADU conversions citywide — SDCI residential permit, ECA review if sloped. In Madison Park specifically, tudor revival stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's Seattle scoping flow factors shoreline master program on lake washington and washington park arboretum-adjacent regulation 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.
