Deck Installation and local data in Washington
Footing depth is the first local question. The Seattle Sand Pt Wsfo weather station records about 25 nights a year at or below freezing for in our covered Washington ZIP codes, so footings must reach the frost depth the building department sets, and about 3.8 inches of yearly snowfall feeds into beam and joist sizing.
53% of the 1,504,023 homes in our covered Washington ZIP codes are detached houses and 5% are townhouses or other attached homes, which sets the mix between open backyard decks and compact elevated ones; with a median build year of 1984, most new decks bolt to a modern rim joist behind proper flashing.
With rain or snow on about 95 days a year, installation details that move water away — joist tape, ledger flashing and correct board gaps — matter more in our covered Washington ZIP codes than the board brand.
