[WSBARP] Permitting records Redmond

[Scott Thomas]

Ask the city for the address file for the condo.  File a public records
request if necessary.  You want both planning and building department
records.  If a permit was issued, they will have a copy.  Keep in mind that
the removal and replacement of exterior windows is exempt from permitting
if the size of the opening is not altered, although I don't know when that
exception was put into place.  The building official would probably know.
