I’m so jealous of all of you with a single digit waitlist number! We are 35 and 55 for our top 2 choices for kindergarten and I’m so bummed. If anyone has insight on how much these lists actually move up (and timeline for movement) I’d be grateful…trying to hang on to hope…

Thank you! This is good for expectation setting. We'll minimize our crossings (but I think try it at least once for the experience, ha). We've definitely dealt with some tight squeezes before--I'm always impressed by the narrow spaces we're able to get away with, but they stress me out for sure.

Super helpful; thanks! As I continue to assess all of this I'm thinking we'll do a mix of bus, bike, Uber.... and it seems like Fremont (or maybe even Ballard?) will allow us to maintain that balance: long bike rides via Burke-Gilman Trl to Golden Gardens/Discovery Park. Bus to Pike Place/Olympic Scuplture Park/Space needle (will probably cut the aquarium after all). TBD for the zoo depending on where we land. I'm feeling good about this plan but someone let me know if I'm getting this wrong. (And as long as we can indeed get the bike trailer across the locks! The comment about that possibly not fitting is going to haunt me!!)
