Bistro area. Existing FS head was relocated toward the Bistro back wall 2 feet to clear ceiling space for the new mechanical unit. The City has already approved the FS relocation. See
attached photos 1-4 and photos 1-4 scans with written info. FS is difficult to see in photo scans with written info, so original photos were alsosent. ALL FS heads in the area need
to be indicated (all the next nearest – the grand foyer area needs to be shown- show the next nearest FS heads to this relocated head) where any/all walls are open in between. -kas

not appear to comply with RCW 70.160.075

last text within the comment cell). Finally, submit the letter (via upload) electronically.
Compliance with the comments above provided by the Department of Health, Construction Review Services, are necessary for this facility to meet the cited requirements of the applicable
licensing regulations found in the Washington State Administrative Code and associated references. These comments, authorization to begin construction or final project approval do not
relieve the facility from the responsibility to meet the requirements of any applicable federal, state or local regulations. In the event of conflicts between other jurisdictions and
these written comments, the most stringent shall apply. The building owner or operator is ultimately responsible for safety and insuring the building is in compliance with all applicable
laws.
