Attention homeowners: looking to add an ADU – a backyard cottage or “tiny home?” SkyDADU spotlights income opportunities and other benefits in major display and seminar presentations

A big win for homeowners, the 2025 passage of House Bill 1337 by lawmakers removed significant barriers to building accessory dwelling units (ADUs), including detached units known as DADUs (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units), also known as backyard cottages and “tiny homes.” The new statewide reform presents expanded income producing opportunities and other benefits for homeowners.

Seattle Home & Garden Show presenting sponsor SkyDADU, a leader in this rapidly growing housing segment, presents a major educational display where home and property owners can explore DADU design, financing, and construction opportunities with personal consultations. Veteran builder and DADU visionary Tod Sakai, President of SkyDADU, shares need-to-know information in his "DADU Law Decoded – How It Creates New Opportunity” in seminar presentations each day of the show at 1 p.m., located at Stage One.

DADUs are helping to solve our housing crisis while providing income opportunities for home and property owners

That’s a question sure to come up over the next five months, and the show, presented by SkyDADU, will have answers when we open tomorrow at Lumen Field Event Center.

We’ll be seeing more DADUs (Detached Accessory Dwelling Units), often called backyard cottages, as cities across the state tackle the need for more housing. With the passage of House Bill-1337, cities are being encouraged to embrace DADUs in their zoning plans by June 1, 2025. It’s a transformative housing resource for renters, multi-generational households, first-time buyers and others.

The show will feature educational displays by SkyDADU focusing on design, financing and construction, and models by several builders will be featured on the show floor. And SkyDADU President Tod Sakai will be sharing important information in his "New DADU Law Generates Passive Income with $0 Money Down" seminars each day of the show at 1 p.m.

Benefits of DADUs include:

• Aging in Place: keeping family close with private and comfortable housing solutions
• Increased Property Value and Equity: generate rental income or increase property resale value
• More Choices for Renters: providing a home-like, stand-alone rental option
• First-Time Homebuyers Appeal: create affordable entry points to better locations
• Family Housing Solutions: provide a home for family members looking to buy their first home
• Rental Income: build to rent for additional income
