Range Hood or Exhaust Fan in Kitchen

[Usr_023]

Hi,
I just finished installed kitchen cabinets and realized that there is no room
to install a range hood above my stove as there is a window. so few questions.
1- I am in Seattle. What is the Seattle building code about range hood. Is it a required or optional?
2- If some kind of ventilation is required then can I just install an exhuast fan above window?

What else you might suggest in this situation?

Thanks

Exhaust vents required in accordance with Sections 505.1

Electric.
I read the code..so it is also permitted to install a booster exhaust fan in place of range hood. right. I would prefer that as I can use the fan with a hanging switch. Because the problem with range hood is the location of on/off switch once I install it over the window the switch will be out of reach for average height people.
what do you say.
