Legally they have to give you 12 weeks(though they don’t have to pay you). But if you didn’t sign up for FMLA prior to delivery and extended your maternity leave beyond the agreed upon time. You have abandoned post and will not be covered by unemployment.

You could cut off highway 20 onto highway 530. It's a beautiful drive following a river most of the way. You'll see scenic farmland and be in a forest with trees over you like you're in a natural tunnel made of trees. Just be aware most do 5-10 mph over the speed limit but drive at a comfortable speed for yourself and let people go by when you can. Be careful in Spokane if you're not white or have some liberal or pride stickers on your car. Lotta racists and homophobes there.

I went through the pass probably 50 times one winter with my Chevy Cruze.

They do really good at the roads there. If you are going somewhere where they don't plow as much you will definitely need awd and/or chains.

But if you are going somewhere pretty popular they may have the roads plowed already for folks

Well worth your time to take a little jaunt up to Chelan if taking Hwy 2. Probably only 15 miles from 97/2 junction. Beautiful lake, very scenic, nice little city. Definitely has the wow factor!

Highway 20 is closed over the mountains in January

Credit card is fine. There is no need to buy ticket in advance. I second this side trip. Deception pass is great! Also check out Ebeys Landing, ft enemy and maybe Langley while on the island.

Do you have a SAW (Secure Access Account)? You need it to file online. If you don’t Here’s a YouTube tutorial video on how to set up. https://youtu.be/q2OF1FuDEoU As far as job logs are concerned, if not mistaken, all that info is submitted with your claim. Also it appears you have an Appeal you’re waiting on which is what’s holding up getting paid benefits.

Does the Ferry take credit card and would I be able to my ticket there? Or should I buy it beforehand?

Beautiful!!!

Are there any places along Highway 20 that you recommend? The ones you mentioned are around I90 and Highway 2. I’m planning on going through highway 2 going to Spokane and then Highway 20 on the return trip; thanks to your suggestions! :)

Are you referring to Glondo’s Sausage Co or just any butcher shop in Cle Elum?

I’ll PM you some suggestions!

Deception pass at least, Leavenworth if the road is good condition & you are comfortable driving in the snow. Highway 2 is a very scenic drive when you are in the mountains.

Since you are from BC, I would love some suggestions & advice to places to visit either in the spring or summer time there. I was thinking about 2.5 days from Friday to Sunday. I haven’t been to BC since I was teenager where we visited Stanley park & aquarium. Thank you in advance.

I thought it was drugs at first, lol

Thank you! I appreciate the help c:

I’m coming to meet a friend, and friends to me are worth all that time, effort and more c:

What are zips?

I’ve been to Seattle quite a bit, and go there often. I’ve never headed this far east before!

I’m planning on going for about a day or two. Can’t afford to use my vacation time at work.

I’m planning on heading there around January, would that be a rough time?

Thank you for your suggestions!

I was planning going there around January, is that a rough time?

Friends live in Vancouver WA and love it. They have a couple of Bernese and do hiking. You could also look out towards Carnation if you could stretch to 500k. Close to the mountains and not far from Redmond.

Not necessarily some HOAs have breed restrictions, so you have to apply and have your dog approved. GSDs are on many of them unfortunately.

I am not sure if it’s your first time going to WA and if you are planning to go there for Xmas or something in the spring or summer? How many days are you planning to do?

Deception pass is a must stop. It’s beautiful place there. Leavenworth makes you feel you are In another country. Palouse Fall is beautiful place as well.

Ballard & Fremonts have many local owned breweries to check out if you like that. If you are coming in the summer time, many hiking spots in the areas to check out.

All of Seattle waterfront ! The piers are fantastic fun

Depending on what time you roll past cle elum a stop at the butcher shop for some jerky or pepperoni is good. I would suggest to try the Landjäger.

As you can see from these screenshots on the ESD website we discussed, https://imgur.io/a/iuXikgi?s=fbm, there is no way of filing the claims online. It might be because they changed the system after covid. The only option was to file by phone or by fax. I did both. And I filed the claims every week by the stated deadlines. I got confirmation that the job logs were received. But it is not showing up in my system that I should be paid. And that was it
