What the file shows
HVAC Replacement is the work Everett files most: 1,163 of these 3,158 permits, 37% of the file. The dearest median here is ADU / Guest House at $175,630; the cheapest is Water Heater at $2,892.
The figure to read is not the median but the range next to it. Interior Remodel is the least predictable work in this jurisdiction: half of those jobs land between $15,250 and $123,875, a 8.1× spread inside one city and one kind of work. A median says where the middle sits. It does not say which half a particular job is in, and on work that varies this much the difference is the whole decision.
