Many South Seattle households already have gas piped in. Per the Census ACS 2020–2024, 40.3% of occupied homes in the 98118 ZIP area heat mainly with utility gas, as do 33.8% in 98108 and 32.7% in 98144. Those shares refer to furnaces rather than fireplaces, yet they show how often a gas line is already in place. A gas flame leaves very little behind, so the fireplace fed by that line often gets forgotten until the day it refuses to light. A single visit covers the firebox, the controls and the vent, with a carbon monoxide test as the last step.
NewHolly in Othello is the newest large neighborhood we serve: the Seattle Housing Authority began rebuilding the former Holly Park in 1996 and finished the last phase in 2005. Its houses and townhomes are now roughly twenty years old, the point at which original vent terminations, gaskets and igniters on any gas appliance begin to wear. If your NewHolly home has a gas fireplace that has never had a service call, expect the first visit to turn up the most.
Gas fireplaces leave no ash and offer few hints that something is wrong. Wear appears as a pilot that keeps dropping out, a sensor running weak, a hardened gasket, or birds nesting in the vent cap.
The hazard is exhaust that never leaves. Carbon monoxide has no color and no smell, and a blocked vent or a burner short of air can produce it without any visible clue. Gas inserts placed in old masonry fireplaces deserve extra care, because that flue was sized for an open hearth and may be far larger than the insert's exhaust requires. Equipment rules apply too. Seattle's residential code requires factory-built fireplaces to be listed, labeled and installed according to the maker's instructions, and Washington allows no new or used factory-built fireplace to be installed unless it is certified and labeled to ASTM E2558.
How it works
Gas valve closed, glass off, logs set aside in the order they came out.
Dust and residue cleared from the burner ports, pilot hood and sensors.
From firebox to termination, looking for anything that restricts exhaust.
Several ignitions, flame pattern, glass seal, then a CO reading at full flame.

We advise it. Vents fall under the same annual NFPA 211 inspection as chimneys and fireplaces, and pilots, sensors and gaskets wear so gradually that only a scheduled check catches them. Early autumn works well.
Plan on $189–$425. Should a component need replacing, you approve its written price before anything is ordered.
Gas units are absent from the stage lists Puget Sound Clean Air Agency publishes; every device on those lists burns wood or pellets. To check a given day, the agency posts the current ban status online.
SDCI handles it in two pieces: a mechanical permit for the new heating and venting equipment, and a separate permit for any gas line. Your quote spells out what your particular conversion needs.
Combustion deposits a mineral haze on the inner face of the glass. Left alone, it can etch in for good, so we take the panel out and clean it with a product designed for ceramic glass.
