“There is no certain evidence that she was in Seattle at any point before that. There are individuals who knew her who placed her in Seattle in August, and there is someone who said she was at a Labor Day event in September. There is enough of that to believe that she was in Seattle in that time frame.”
Didn’t someone investigate when “Anna Obama” would have to be at the Capitol Hill address to have been included in the city directory? As I recall, Fred’s got a good handle on the directory notice that’s been published with various articles. Is there a way to figure out the latest date she could have arrived at the Capitol Hill address and been canvassed for the directory listing? Any importance attached to that issue rests of course on the notice that was used being a true one and not another digital creation with no basis in reality. (Only Tony knows for sure.)
Or did she start out living somewhere else?
David, that brings up something else. The “Laurelhurst” name was suggested in various web references. One place was the blog conversation between museum lady Charlette and a poster named Leif. In one of the other references, I recall it being described as a residence hall for pregnant students and somewhere else as an unwed mother’s home. There was yet another explanation for Laurelhurst but it has gone from my memory. Do you know what it really was and if so, does it have any place in this story?
There is information above on this thread on that topic. It appears uncertain when she would have been there to be in the directory.

If the person on Capitol Hill was in fact Stanley Ann, it would not be surprising that she lived somewhere else before she lived on Capitol Hill.
The University maintained "married student's housing" at Laurelhurst in that period and there were kids living there. However the suggestion that Stanley Ann was there is, as far as I know, unsubstantiated.
