Building a Yurt in Okanogan County

[Uknaqin]

Hello all,

I wanted to start a thread showing our 24ft yurt build.

Location: Okanogan County near Republic

Yurt: $19k 24ft from Pacific Yurts - (only the yurt being picked up)
Deck/Platform: $2800+ (estimated cost - building ourselves)
Pit Privy (aka Johnny Crapped): $400+ (estimated cost - building ourselves)
Outdoor Shower: $500+ (estimated cost - building ourselves)

Yurt was ordered the other day and will not be ready for pickup around October/November. In the meantime, we will complete an outdoor shower, a pit privy and the deck/platform for the yurt. There is a permitted well located right across lot lines on National Forest land... Wondering how that happened! Our plan is to run generator to yurt (for when we absolutely need power). Run water on a 12v system likely solar/battery bank.

We have no water, no septic and no neighbors!

We are wondering if anyone has gotten permitted in Okanogan County to build a yurt as their Building Permit Application Packet (see their website) directly says "yurt" as type of construction.

Will update the progress of this build as it happens.
