Seattle is a city of layers — Craftsman bungalows in Ballard and Wallingford, mid-century ramblers in Northgate and Beacon Hill, and newer infill across the city. That range means no two electrical jobs here are the same. A 1910s Capitol Hill home may need a partial rewire and panel upgrade before it can safely carry a heat pump or an EV charger, while a newer West Seattle build may just need a dedicated circuit and some lighting. All City Electric has been serving Seattle homeowners since 1971.
Work inside Seattle goes through the Seattle Department of Construction & Inspections (SDCI) for permitting and inspection, and the power side runs on Seattle City Light. We know SDCI's electrical permit and inspection process, and we pull the permit and schedule the rough and final inspections so your job passes the first time.
From troubleshooting a dead circuit in Madrona to a 200-amp service upgrade in Magnolia, we bring the same care to every Seattle neighborhood — grounded, GFCI/AFCI-protected, labeled work that passes inspection and lasts.
Seattle's housing stock spans pre-WWII bungalows with original knob-and-tube and ungrounded two-wire circuits, mid-century ramblers with 100-amp panels, and dense multifamily near transit nodes. Panel upgrades and partial rewires are extremely common.

Seattle Electrical — Your Questions
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Seattle?
Yes. Electrical work in Seattle is permitted and inspected through SDCI. We pull the permit, do the work to Seattle's adopted code, and schedule the inspections.
Can you upgrade my panel if I'm on Seattle City Light?
Yes. We coordinate the service upgrade with Seattle City Light, replace the meter base and panel, and bring grounding up to current code as part of the upgrade.
REAL REVIEWS.
REAL RESULTS.
"I had an incredible experience getting service done from All City Electric. I wanted to have some outlets fixed as well as install a Level 2 Charger. They were easy to schedule a time for an estimate and also for the service. The electrician came right on time for both appointments and was very respectful and sweet. Every team member was very kind and sweet and accommodating. I would highly recommend them for any future service needs you have!"

"I called All City Electric when my laundry room and living room lights would not turn off. If you tried to turn them off they flicker. Then 5 of my outlets either didn't work or things would fall out of them. I finally got sick of it and reached out explaining my situation. The gal that answered my call was very sweet and kind. Even when I called back the next day saying I forgot to write it down and wanted to confirm my appointment day and time. We had a good laugh. She made my day! Today, Kevin showed up on time and confirmed the problem and got to work right away. He was pleasant and kind during the entire process. He answered all my questions. Thank you to the entire staff and owner of All City Electric!! You will forever have my business. Please call if you have any issues. They are absolutely the best to work with!! Thank you again!!"
