Burien is largely 1940s–60s ranches and mid-century homes, and exterior outlet and lighting work is one of the most frequent requests we get here. Homeowners around Three Tree Point and Seahurst want safe power for decks and patios, while yards in Gregory Heights and Ambaum need a dedicated spot for holiday lights, landscape lighting, a patio heater, or a grill instead of an extension cord run through a window. Many of these homes are also still on 100-amp panels, so before adding any new exterior circuit we check that the panel has room for it.
We install weather-resistant receptacles with in-use (bubble) covers on dedicated, GFCI-protected, properly grounded circuits, routing the wiring cleanly through siding or trim and sealing it against the weather. Heavier outdoor loads, such as a hot tub, RV, or shed subpanel, get a circuit sized to the load. Most exterior receptacle additions need an electrical permit, which goes through the City of Burien Building Department (some areas are unincorporated King County); we confirm the jurisdiction for your address and schedule the inspection.
Tell us what you want to power and where, and we'll recommend outlet locations and circuit sizing, plus a timer or switch if that's convenient for lighting. If your panel is already full, we'll explain what it would take to make room, whether that's a subpanel or a panel upgrade. Call (206) 533-6333, Monday through Friday, 8:00 to 4:30, to schedule a visit.

Outdoor Outlet Installation in Burien: Your Questions
Do I need a permit for an outdoor outlet in Burien?
Most exterior receptacle additions require an electrical permit and inspection. In Burien that's usually the City of Burien Building Department, but some pockets are unincorporated King County. We confirm the jurisdiction for your address, pull the permit, and schedule the inspection.
Can you add an outlet for my Burien deck or patio?
Yes. We install a weather-resistant GFCI receptacle with an in-use cover on a dedicated circuit, routed cleanly through the siding or trim. It's a frequent request for decks and patios around Seahurst and Three Tree Point, and far safer than running cords through a window.
Do outdoor outlets need special covers?
Yes. Current code requires weather-resistant receptacles with in-use (bubble) covers that protect the outlet even while something is plugged in. Every exterior receptacle must also be GFCI-protected and properly grounded, and we install all of that as standard.
Can you install an outdoor circuit for a hot tub or RV?
Yes. We size the circuit to the load, such as a dedicated GFCI-protected 240V circuit for a hot tub or a 30/50-amp RV receptacle, with the correct disconnect, weather-rated wiring, and bonding where required. An older 100-amp panel may need added capacity first.

"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!!"
