Seattle Film Permit Applications
TO PERMIT OR NOT TO PERMIT?
While filming in Seattle, many activities will require a Film Permit for the use of city streets, sidewalks, and public parking. Complete filming guidelines are detailed in the Film Manual.
YOU WILL NEED A PERMIT WHILE FILMING ON PUBLIC CITY OF SEATTLE PROPERTY IF:
- Traffic will be interrupted on City streets
- Pedestrian traffic on sidewalks will be interrupted
- A tripod or dolly is used on sidewalks or streets
- Wires or cables run across or over sidewalks
- A generator is used on public property
- Public parking will be impacted
- A weapon, authentic or replica, is used and/or ammunition discharged
- The Office of Film + Music determines the need in other filming situations
All of the information that you need about filming in Seattle can be found in the Seattle Film Manual.
If you have additional questions, contact Film Program Coordinator Chris Swenson at 206.733.9245.
PLEASE NOTE - Proof of Insurance is required in most cases before the City can issue you a film permit. Please see the Master Film Permit Manual for details.
To apply for a Film Permit, download the application form using MS Word and fill out with as much detail as possible.
