Woodinville has some of the most relaxed accessory structure rules in the money belt — there's no separate height limit for sheds, so the zone maximum of 35 feet applies just like it does to your house. No design match requirements either. The city also explicitly allows home business storage in accessory structures, which is unusual. Standard 5-foot interior setbacks, 200 square feet without a permit, and that's about it. Straightforward rules for a high-dollar zip code.
