Services utility guide

Start Here

Use this page when you know you have a Seattle city task, but you do not yet know which service page to open first. It is a chooser page, not a replacement for the deeper service guides.

Start here

Report a city problem or get routed fast

Use this lane when the issue is a pothole, graffiti, missed pickup, or a general city request.

Best starting paths

These are the most useful first pages when you know the kind of city task but not yet the exact office or system.

Utilities and bills

Best for City Light, SPU, household billing, discounts, and account help.

Permits and licenses

Best for formal city paperwork, permits, and license starts.

Report a problem

Best for neighborhood issues and requests that need a city follow-up.

Common situations

Choose the lane that best matches the real-world situation, even if you do not yet know the exact department name.

Best when the task is tied to moving, setting up accounts, or learning the right systems.

Household checklist

Best for everyday home-and-city tasks that cross more than one department.

Who handles this?

Best when you only know the problem and need help choosing the right city lane.

What to open next

Once you know the service lane, switch to another Seattle.net page only if conditions, movement, or timing matter more than the paperwork itself.

Use Now when you want the quickest city snapshot before heading out.

Use Brief when service tasks are only one part of the day.

Use Alerts if city movement conditions could change the errand.
