Check permit requirements for a project in a King, Pierce or Snohomish County jurisdiction

Kolmo's permit rule catalog for Washington cities and counties, in two layers: source: authoritative is the jurisdiction's own rule; source: wa-baseline is the Washington state baseline, used where Kolmo has not read the jurisdiction's own rule. A location that matches nothing returns nothing, never another city's rule. projectType matches the rule's project type exactly; free-text trigger/notes are searched only when no rule carries that type. Relay verdict.detail, cite url (the Kolmo page that renders the rule) and officialSource (the jurisdiction's or the state's source the rule rests on).
