The state’s description of the complaint
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.
