I reached out to Microsoft facilities people about roof space as well.  "Due to security and insurance reasons" etc etc, no go.

This will be a great addition to the network.

BTW... several of us at the 'zon are trying to see if we can get a presence for HamWAN allowed on that new Amazon tower.  It would likely come with the ability to cross-connect directly into the Westin which is just across the street.  Cross your fingers that we can pull it off.

Hello,

We have Tukwila wired up from the network side, and now it's time to install the RF side!  This is an Internet peering site.  It's too low to be useful as much of a cell site.  It will (hopefully) provide fresh connectivity to two locations: Baldi and Haystack.  The Baldi link looks a lot more likely than Haystack.  Amazon is building a new tower in Seattle, and that'll cut our Westin / Hay connectivity which presently feeds Haystack.  Here's what's needed to finish out Tukwila:

Streakwave:
2 ARC-DA5830SD1 dishes @ $99.00/ea = $198.00
1 TC-Pro shielded CAT5 @ $127.65/ea = $127.65
1 RFA-RJ45-100 shielded RJ45 ends 100pk @ $28.45/ea = $28.45
1 Shipping @ $95.33 = $95.33

Baltic Networks:
4 RP-SMA plug to N-Male 1 Meter RF Patch Cable @ $9.95/ea = $39.80
1 Shipping @ $15.20/ea = $15.20

Bart Kus Inventory Sale to HamWAN:
2 RB912UAG-5HPnD-OUT @ $75/ea = $150
1 5ft heavy duty tripod with pre-mounted feet @ $50/ea = $50
1 Shipping @ $0.00/ea = $0.00

HomeDepot / Lowes
1 Misc mounting hardware (pipes, unistrut, u-bolts, cement blocks, zip ties, etc) @ $100/ea = $100
1 Shipping @ $0.00/ea = $0.00

Grand Total: $804.43

Our present balance is $940.  Since I am one of the vendors here, I am abstaining from voting due to the conflict of interest.
