btw, in case you hadn't heard:
Seattle Passport Agency on the move
The Seattle Passport Agency is moving to a new office at the south edge of downtown, with more space and service windows for issuing passports to travelers.
The existing office, in the Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle, will be closed on Aug. 5 and Aug. 8 in preparation for the move.
The new Passport Agency office will be at 300 Fifth Ave., Suite 600, Seattle, WA 98104 (the cross street is Yesler). The new office will be open from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday starting Aug. 9. The office serves customers with urgent travel requirements by appointment.
Schedule an appointment or get passport information by calling 877-487-2778 or see http://www.travel.state.gov. There will be a nationwide "Passport Day" on Saturday, Sept. 17, where travelers can apply in person for passports and get advice from staff without an appointment.
