Daycare in Seattle is expensive but not that expensive yet. We paid $1250/month last year, which is a far cry from $22k start.

I’m also a 47 year old who lives in a three story Ballard townhome. 3 of these replaced 1 SFH, so it’s a good deal for density.

Where did you find that price? All the schools I took a look at started at for infant/toddler care started at 1800/month and went up to 3k/month. This is including independent schools (for example https://www.utcs.org/enroll) and quality home based programs.

We got a spot down the street from our house at Ballard Lutheran, a church-based small non profit. We were paying $1800 before that (in Fremont), which is definitely $22k worthy. We definitely got lucky.

I’m still paying $950/month for my kids before and after school care, so that’s high compared to what we were getting before, but it is tough out there. Im also paying $1100/month for my niece’s daycare in…Spokane.
