The City of Seattle Fire Code consists of the 2003 International Fire Code and City of Seattle amended language fully integrated into a City of Seattle Fire Code binder.

The City of Seattle Department of Planning and Development has developed this new code in cooperation with the volunteer Construction Codes Advisory Board.

The City of Seattle Fire Code is the 2003 International Fire Code as adopted and amended by the City of Seattle. Changes from the International Fire Code are indicated by lines through text that has been deleted by the City of Seattle, and underlining of text that has been added by the City of Seattle. The City of Seattle Fire Code also includes provisions of the Washington State Building Codes. Where text originates from the Washington State Code, it is preceded by the letter designation [W].

Any corrections, revisions or supplements to the 2003 Seattle Fire Code will be posted on the Seattle Fire Department Web site.
