“During the inspection, this licensor observed three playground structures in the outdoor play area. The Little Tike climable slide structure and the bouldering climbable structure did not meet CPSC safety fall zone and ground surfacing guidelines. The Little Tike structure measured five feet from the edge of the playground instead of the required six feet. The ground surfacing woodchips under the bouldering structure measured 4.5-5 inches instead of the required 9 inches.”

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.

Full-size means licensed for 12 children, the most any Seattle-area family home holds; 735 of Seattle-area’s 1,532 licensed family homes are. Small is 3 to 6; mid-size is 7 to 11.
The ages on the license are what the state licenses it to care for, which can be wider than the ages it takes.
