Obstructed or missing house numbers are never a good idea. Please take a moment to ensure that your house numbers are not obstructed by vegetation or decorations and clearly stand out on the front of your home.
Emergency services rely on proper house number identification to make timely responses in the event of a crisis. Plus, it helps to ensure proper visitors, package and food deliveries as well. If you are repainting your home, consider updating your address numbers to ensure they can be clearly seen from the street.
Additionally, having visible and legible house identification is a legal requirement of almost every municipal city government and fire department. Issaquah Municipal Code (16.04.100) states the following:
Buildings shall have approved address numbers placed in a position to be plainly legible and visible from the street or road fronting the property. These numbers shall contrast with their background. Address numbers shall be Arabic numerals or alphabet letters. Numbers shall not be less than 4 inches (102 mm) in height.
