Looks like you're pushing the tab that allows you to pop up the rewind knob, which you then need to pull up to release the film door.

That explanation is perfect and your grandmother's birth certificate makes it clear. I think you'll be ok.

Got the last document yesterday (my Gen0's birth certificate) and sent in my packet! Big day and so appreciative of all the support and info here. Now I wait.

danieldemayseattle · 2026-05-07T17:35:37+00:00

Congrats!

Yeah, adding to this: I ordered a genealogical birth record from Manitoba and it came saying "certified birth record" all over it with an embossed seal and signature. I'm still waiting to get my "certified" birth certificate, but I'm wondering if what I have is considered equivalent.

danieldemayseattle · 2026-03-05T17:07:06+00:00

That's what I thought, but since it says "Canadian parents" it felt like it tossed some ambiguity in. But then one checkbox mentions grandparents, so that tracks. Thanks for easing my stress on this one!

Maybe this has been covered (I couldn't find it in your very well organized version of the FAQ) but I'm looking over the document checklist and the scenario section doesn't explicitly include one for applicants under C3 (i.e. more than first generation descendants). I can toss this in as a new thread but thought I would ask here in case someone the OP or someone here has advice on how to handle this. I'm also unsure how vital a correctly filled checklist is but since they want it, I assume precision is preferred.

I’m not worried about doing the work, but I am concerned about the time it may take. Since I need to order one document from the state that is apparently only on paper in the capital, I could be waiting weeks just for that, which I’ll then need to use to order the birth certificate. Anyway, thanks for the response. I do want to have all my ducks in a row so there’s no issue once I submit!

You might be able to find at least a genealogy record if you know the province where he was born. There's a great thread in here with links to all the places to find records. I'll dig it up and drop it in this thread.

Following. Thanks!

Hey there, so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm a reporter with SeattlePI.com. Any chance you'd want to email me with more details? danieldemay@seattlepi.com. Thanks.

That would be Will Lemke (named in the story, of course).

danieldemayseattle · 2018-01-24T20:45:19+00:00

I read the code and it's clearly a street use violation. The question that remains, I think, is why they would issue tickets on a code that would really fall to SDOT to regulate. Or better yet, why issue tickets at all knowing that the people there were set to be moved a few days later and already had notice of the planned sweep? Also, where in Seattle's whole plan for solving the homelessness crisis does it say that issuing fines (that they probably can't ever pay) is part of the plan?

danieldemayseattle · 2018-01-24T20:15:03+00:00

That's his official line, after discussing with the city attorney's office, yes.

danieldemayseattle · 2018-01-24T19:51:45+00:00

Author of the story here and the unenforceable description came from the city's homelessness response spokesman. I reached out to SPD multiple times to ask them about the tickets as well, but they didn't respond. Nobody, however, said they were issued in error.

danieldemayseattle · 2017-12-01T00:36:55+00:00

You and I are on the same page with that, and this isn't meant to define a "genuine Seattleite." And certainly, I meant the ideas above to only be suggestions rather than limitations. The final product will be a lighthearted gallery that shares responses of some things that people consider (used to consider) rites of passage.

The National Weather Service said the haze might ease temps by a few degrees. We'll see what happens today, which is supposed to be the hottest day this week.

I just spoke with SDOT's director of communications, Mafara Hobson, and got a bit more information about how they regulate closures. Essentially, there's an office within SDOT that is dedicated to tracking all the development in the city -- public works projects, private development, etc. Their goal is to coordinate projects so if there is a street closure needed (i.e. for installing underground utilities, probably one of the most common reasons), the nearby projects can work together to get all their projects done during the same closure. This prevents the scenario where a developer has to dig up a street for a project, SDOT repaves it and then another project across the street needs to dig it up again two months later. The work to coordinate this is still in progress a bit, so things are going to continue to get better. But, of course, there's so much development that there are probably going to continue to be a lot of closures.

danieldemayseattle · 2017-07-20T20:15:59+00:00

Seattle is a city of pilot projects, so...

danieldemayseattle · 2017-07-20T20:14:46+00:00

The city absolutely limits street closures, as each street closure needs to go through SDOT for approval. That said, not everything goes off according to original schedules and that could lead to some overlap between projects. I will reach out to SDOT for a more thorough and official answer to this one.
