What We Know About Burien Houses
Every city has its own wiring era, its own utility and its own inspector. Knowing them is half the job.
Homes in Burien
Burien is largely 1940s–60s: Seahurst, Gregory Heights, Lake Burien and Three Tree Point. Small panels, two-prong outlets, kitchen circuits added over the years, and a lot of bathrooms with no GFCI. The usual jobs are repairs, grounding, panel upgrades and GFCI protection.
Who supplies the power
Seattle City Light serves part of Burien and Puget Sound Energy the rest; we check which one before any service work.
Permits and inspections
The City of Burien issues its own electrical permits and does its own inspections instead of L&I. We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
