Here is some recent good information to look at. It also tells about my conviction that Stanley Ann and Baby Obama traveled from Kenya to Vancouver BC. From Vancouver BC, they made it to Seattle. I say she went by ferry to Mercer Island, which was the natural thing to do if you don’t own a car.

You can’t take a ferry to Mercer Island, as it is in Lake Washington, not in Puget Sound.

I have argued with Yosemitest about this stuff before. He simply glosses over the financial difficulties of paying for, and making such a trip. He shows that it could possibly have happened theoretically, but a lot of stars would have to align just properly for this to occur, and it simply doesn't make any sense.
Barack Sr.'s father hated the idea of him marrying a white girl, so it is unlikely he would pay for the trip, let alone the kind of trouble Barrack Sr. would have with his first wife Keiza back in Kenya. Barrack Sr. Complained to the newspapers about how expensive it was to live in Hawaii, and mentioned he had to work for a pineapple company just to help pay his food and rent bills.
Presumably he would have rather kept any money available for flying two people to Kenya and back. It would have been apparently several thousand Canadian dollars, which I presume was something like half that amount in U.S. Dollars. Quite a sum in 1960.
No, till someone deals directly with the financial cost of this, and makes the theory more palatable, I'm simply not going to take the "birth in Kenya" theory very seriously. It's possible, but not the most probable.
