| 5506136 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 1 month ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | An unmarked crossing can be added here across 5th. See the King County Orthoimagery 2025 background layer. The patches of yellow are the tactile panels. |

| 5477393 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 1 month ago | opened | Paco DFDF ♦1 | Jack in the Box at Aurora Ave N & N 85th St appears to be closing — windows are covered and the building is in poor condition. Needs verification; if confirmed closed, the fast food pin should be marked disused. Source: local knowledge, observed August 2026. |
| 2 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Okay. I wouldn't necessarily take that as a sign that the business is closing given the environment in some areas of the city, however, it is worth keeping an eye out if this closes. Usually a business will take down of cover their sign if they're closing. #surveyme | |
| 3 | ~ 1 month ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Went past it on the bus today, and it looked open as usual. Nothing covered or boarded up. | |
| 5506055 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 1 month ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | There's a bicycle repair stand here, but it seems like it's been vandalized. Maybe someone more knowledgeable about bike repair than me can check if it's useable and should be added to the map? |
| 4768690 Category: unknown | 1 | ~ 1 year ago | opened | Technotion ♦29 | This branch is temporarily closed according to the Seattle Public Library website. I have marked it as such, but leaving a note so when it eventually opens back up again in "late 2026" someone can come back and edit it again. |
| 2 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Would something like opening_date=2026-10-01 be appropriate here? I guess it might depend on what's going on here (renovation? if so could we add a landuse=construction area with that opening date?) Not sure what the tagging conventions are for this case. | |
| 3 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | Technotion ♦29 | I've tagged the building with opening_hours=closed and operational_status=closed, per some online discussion I found on temporary closures. I have not seen the site in person, so I'm not sure if a construction area would be warranted. I would hesitate to put a specific date given the website just has a vague "late 2026" description. | |
| 4 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | That's fair. I don't really like the idea of needing to keep this note open though, because it feels like a note should be something that can be resolved by surveying or consulting the community about some tagging issue, but not waiting for something to reopen. Maybe that's just me though 🤷 | |
| 5 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | Technotion ♦29 | Yeah, I did think similarly, but I think it would be okay to leave it. I can't really think of an alternative... unless I just delete the note and hope someone sees the closure and thinks to update it once it's back open. | |
| 6 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | Technotion ♦29 | I'll make an effort to visit the location in person to survey the work being done. If it's not just internal renovations, I will label it as a construction zone as that seems like a strong course of action in order to leave "noteless" | |
| 7 | ~ 1 year ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Okay, thanks. Yeah I don't know what the proper way to do this is. | |
| 8 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | From an update posted in April: "We are working toward a projected reopening in September, and will provide another project update in June." https://www.spl.org/about-us/the-organization/budget-and-operations/library-levy/2019-library-levy-proposal/seismic-retrofit-projects | |

| 5458514 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 1 month ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Construction is complete. Benton on Burke apartment building address is 4428 Burke Ave N. Retail spaces at 1901 and 1905 N 45th St. |
| 2 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | I think I've updated this correctly, and I'll resurvey nearby bike parking, etc. when I get a chance. I don't know if the building footprint needs adjustment. Imagery with a white rooftop is the current build. | |
| 3 | ~ 1 month ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Done. | |
| 5458561 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 1 month ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | This bus stop was further north. Need to survey actual location. |

| 2 | ~ 1 month ago | closed | people128256 ♦438 | 316 is already on the map. If this is not what you were referring to, please reopen. | |
| 3 | ~ 1 month ago | reopened | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | ||
| 4 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | This note was created after this building was last touched. Potentially there is construction in this lot and the one immediately to the east? | |
| 5 | ~ 1 month ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | The house at 316 was demolished. Most recent King County imagery shows the construction that has since been completed in both of these lots. | |

| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Zenith Supplies closed though. | |
| 3 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | I figured out how to tag Zenith as disused. Will try to survey again later if no one updates the current business in the meantime. | |

| 2 | ~ 5 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Has it been repaired? | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | I deleted this today via StreetComplete quest. Was still just the base five years later. | |

| 5423567 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Cocoa Legato has a cafe, but it's also an on-site chocolate factory. They offer factory tours and sell the chocolate at the cafe. Is that info worth mapping? After a little research, the factory and retail info doesn't seem compatible with the cafe amenity tag. |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Hmm. Maybe it would make most sense to add the factory as another POI node or something? | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | I passed by it again, and that seemed like a reasonable way to handle it with the way they're set up. I've added it as craft=chocolate since it's a small facility. Thanks for the input. | |
| 5425579 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 2 months ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | There are unmapped stairs and ramps under the trees here. There are also stairs to access the women's restroom around the corner from here. |
| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Trees are too thick to see in aerial imagery, unfortunately. Will need on-the-ground photos or more description. | |

| 4 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | What does that hashtag do https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/dannmer? Is there some tool that reads it automatically? | |
| 5 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | dannmer ♦23,455 | I believe that StreetComplete reads these hashtags and the note may be assigned as a task for a local mapper. Only used it a couple of times so I don't know how effective the tag is in speeding up a survey. | |
| 6 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | tannewt ♦43 | I'll be near there on Tuesday and will snag some pictures then. | |

| 2 | ~ 2 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Based on measurements and description at https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3211770305, it sounds like a stained glass window of some type, possibly installed on the building. | |
| 3 | ~ 2 months ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Surveyed and tagged as "window" because nothing else seems to fit. It's visible from outside, but the indoor view from the pool seems to be more like the intended perspective. | |

| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Added construction area. Do you know if the garage in the back, https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/222569581, is involved as well? | |
| 3 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Yes, there wasn't a garage there anymore. | |
| 4 | ~ 4 months ago | closed | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Expanded the area. Thanks! | |
| 5298211 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 4 months ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Casa Patron is temporarily closed for remodeling |
| 2 | ~ 4 months ago | commented | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | How long do they estimate? 1 week, 1 month, 6 months, 1 year? As a rule of thumb we don't usually update things unless their expected to stay that way for 6-9+ months, because most data consumers don't pull new data from OpenStreetMap all that often. | |
| 3 | ~ 4 months ago | closed | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Makes sense, thanks. They've been closed for several months already, so I think they'll reopen sooner than later. | |
| 5279146 Category: Unknown | 1 | ~ 5 months ago | opened | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | There's a new building under construction in this lot and replacing 460. |

| 2 | ~ 6 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | I checked their website, and they haven't been at this address in years. This location should be eXit SPACE, which is mapped at 414. | |
| 3 | ~ 6 months ago | closed | pwbriggs ♦1,039 | Changed to an address point. I don't know the area; somebody will have to fix the locations and addresses of these businesses if they are indeed out of order-- is the dance place on the left or right (or both) of Seatown Pottery, for example. Closing this note now, thanks! | |

| 3 | ~ 6 months ago | commented | extraordinarymachine ♦26 | Thank you! It was the same address as Ten Thousand Villages, so 6417 and 101. | |
