What a pool & spa construction project looks like here

Queen Anne Hill (1890-1935) is one of Seattle's oldest residential neighborhoods — the hilltop Queen Anne Victorians have commanding views that ECA overlays specifically protect.

Because most lots sit on > 40% slope, geotechnical reports are required — adds $5K-$15K to any foundation work.

ECA Landslide Prone designation requires a Master Use Permit (MUP) on many projects — adds 4-8 weeks beyond standard SDCI timeline.

Indoor pools, spas, covered outdoor pools — SDCI pool permit + Seattle Energy Code pool-heater electrification path. In Queen Anne specifically, queen anne victorian stock means pool & spa construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
