“O165(2)(a) The licensor observed that push pins/tacks were being used to display postings in the facility. During the visit, one of the push pins/tacks became dislodged when pointed out by the licensor and fell onto the carpeted area, highlighting a potential safety hazard. The use of sharp or unsecured fastening materials in areas accessible to children presents a risk of injury, including puncture wounds or choking hazards if the items are picked up. The licensor recommended replacing them with safer alternatives, such as tape or other non-sharp fastening methods, to secure postings and minimize potential safety risks within the environment.”

Shortlist replaces people’s names in the state’s text with initials. This is done by rule, not by hand, so it can miss a name or shorten a word that isn’t one. The state’s report, linked on each row, has the original.

Small means the smallest quarter of Seattle-area’s 1,532 licensed family homes by state-licensed capacity: 3 to 6 children. Mid-size is 7 to 11; full-size is 12, the most any Seattle-area family home holds.
The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
