In spite of the new legislation, it's always wise to keep an eye on the construction - take photos, including of permits, make sure it's known that you and neighbors are watching. These developers will try and get away with anything they can. If you see anything problematic, you're better off calling OSHA than L&I, which is basically in bed with the developers.

They have to show permits upon request, right? I'm concerned about the permits not being loaded into Eclipse right away, so I won't see them.

Permits need to be displayed on site. Not just on request. They're typically taped up to the front windows.

I'm expecting the house will be totally demolished (it's really far gone). Are they still displayed before there are even windows?

if the house is demolished, permits are generally placed onto any fencing in the area that is protecting the lot

Yeah, lots of construction going on of lots they cleared out and permits are always on the fence at these places.

This is mostly correct, but OSHA ain't doing shit for a single home construction. There are not even close to enough OSHA inspectors to inspect all of the workplaces. If you're concerned you should still call L&I with specific safety concerns.
