Address-first parcel lookup powering the /permits experience. Geocodes a Seattle-area address (King, Pierce, or Snohomish County, WA), resolves the parcel from the county GIS, and returns zoning, setbacks, overlays (shoreline / ECA / flood / historic), lot area, jurisdiction routing, and prior-permit history. Zoning, setbacks and building facts carry the city/county source they came from (geocode, lot geometry and assessor records do not). Use for "what can be built at 123 Main St Seattle?" or before calling check_permit_requirements / estimate_permit_fee for a specific parcel.
