>"PubliCola has written extensively about the 1950 structure, which was originally a drive-through bank—a novel convenience at a time when American car culture was just ramping up. The building was one of many copies of a 1946 prototype created for Seattle-First National Bank, many of which are still standing in Seattle and across the region"
This is the 2nd paragraph in the linked article. You gotta read my dude

SR99 is directly underneath this parcel, which means underground parking probably isn't feasible. They laid out a lot of the issues with building density on this parcel in the article.
The actual building may have some historic merit, it was originally a bank and one of the first few drivethrough banks.
The landmark status looks like it only applies to the building, so they could use the surface parking to build something like townhouses. IDK what the parcel actually looks like so that may not be feasible either

Walgreens is probably a corporate sponsor of our politicians so cant be thinking logically about this one.

Use some of that 15 grand to pay for a babysitter, come down to Washington and get a two week vacation from the child. Then you can actually enjoy all the beautiful geography that this state has to offer. Go to the beach, go to ape caves, go to beacon rock, go to the tree of life, go to mount rainier, check out pikes place while you’re in seattle, go to the air museum, head up to snoqualmie and marvel at the cascade mountain range, fuck you could even try skiing out if you wanted to. Washington has got it all my friend.

Seattle itself is SO fun for 2 year olds!! I am a nanny for kids around that age in seattle and there is just so so much to do! Bring your kiddo to the pacific science center, the moPOP, the children’s museum, the SAM, the asian art museum (and volunteer park cause volunteer park is SO fun!), the waterfront, the aquarium, the beaches, the burke museum, the arboretum and the japanese botanical garden, you can even find some great lists for toddler-friendly hikes near seattle if you google it! Have fun!
Don’t bother with the cruise. It won’t be worth the money and you’ll probably get sick and be bored while on the boat. Your toddler will also probably be super fussy on a cruise.

Leavenworth is always a safe bet especially with kids

Go to the coast - your 2 year old will love running and playing in the sand (it can be cool, but it is also very uncrowded.) You can easily do day trips into Olympic National Park and enjoy the rain forest. If you are on a tight-ish budget, see if you can get one of the camping cabins at the state parks on the coast, if your budget is higher - I love to stay at the Seabrook resort. There are lots of great things to do in the mountains - but I found beaches were easier when my kids were little. My personal favorite stretch is from Ocean shores to Pacific Beach - as it gives easy access to the park: https://mapswa.com/discoverwa/#9.58/47.252422/-124.013591

Yeah there are literally dozens of ferry routes through the beautiful Puget Sound and Straight of Georgia at a fraction of the cost of a week long cruise. Even with gas and hotels you’d spend way less than $15k.

You should need to set up a new claim first then you will see the options to manage that claim including uploading documents.

I know it's a little far away but both Spokane Community College and Spokane Falls Community College are excellent and offer wonderful transfer degrees.

If you’ve started a new claim, you can go into the claim and you’ll see a link for “manage documents” and you’ll upload the documentation there.

Have you submitted a new claim yet for your current leave? I don't believe you can upload random documents to your file, they need to be associated with a specific claim.

Cool just wanted to point out that rural and remote mean something different.

What's so special about a single-story drive through Walgreens with a surface parking lot??
Tear it down, build more housing with Walgreens on the ground floor, and underground parking.

Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens are both totally spectacular and end of June or early July might be perfect time for wildflowers, depends how snowpack fares this spring.
The air and space museum is cool. I haven't been but people really like the San Juan islands.
Right in Seattle the Hiram Chittendon locks (Ballard locks) are actually interesting.
As others have said, Space Needle of course. Last time I was there I went up in the evening before sunset and so got to see everything in daylight and then the transition to night with the lights, was really cool. Super busy though, might be a bit problematic with a 2 year old. If you go, check out reserving ahead of time.
If you wanted to come towards Portland check out the Gorge. Could make a loop and go to Timberline Lodge as well. Nice view up there and an overall scenic drive.
Oregon coast is overall better than the Washington coast if you wanted to wind up out there.

If you are day tripping with a toddler Mt St. Helens may be a good option with a toddler depending on how well they take car rides.

I wouldn't plan on driving to another state. Portland is the closest big city, and it's 3-4 hours away.
Check out the Olympic national park.
