Affordable childcare options in Seattle - 5 months and counting

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. How long did subsidies take?

Libraries and community centres run free activities that gave me a couple of hours.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 5 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
