Hi everyone, have some questions about building second kitchen at Bellevue and hope can get some help here. 

We have a split 4B 2.75B SFH at Bellevue(98005), we want to rent out the whole basement out and the basement currently has 1B1B, living room, washer/dryer and some space that we think can build kitchen.

Here are some of the questions that I hope can get help with:

1. Do I need to apply for the permit to build the second kitchen in basement ? 

2. Do I need to hire engineer to assess the structure ( we don’t think will remove any wall but might need a hole to connect hood with outside). Do we need some kind of inspection?

3. If permit and inspection required, what is the permit process ? How long usually take to get it pass? How long usually take for the whole process to completed? 

Super appreciate with any answer, suggestions !

Hi everyone, hope can get some help here. 
We recently purchased a SFH in Bellevue (98005) it is 4B 3.75B ( 3 rooms and 2 Bath in the first floor and 1B1B in the basement. We want to rent out 2 or 3 rooms out but not sure what's the procedures. Heard need to apply some permit if I want to rent out the rooms but not sure exactly the process. Here are some of the questions I have:
1. Does anyone know if the permits is mandatory to apply in order to rent out the rooms?
2. Is 2 maximum number room that I can rent out ( anyway I can rent out 3 rooms?) 
3. What is the process of getting permit? Does it involved with lot of inspection and back and forth? other than the permit fee, what kind of potential cost might associate with getting the permit and how much usually cost ? 

4. How long usually take to to completed the whole process? 

Super appreciate with everyone’s help!
