Are you complaining that a single stall is out of service or is there some larger problem?
> so no thanks . .
. . for making that call.
The larger problem is the lack of BOLLARDS at the open ends of the charger line. Similar damage to this was inflicted upon the SuperCharger immediately to the south on InterState-5, where, again, we have chargers out in the open thus no crowded manoeuvering required so one could conclude a high degree of intentionality was involved in these incidents.
Removing one from 8 chargers at a busy site should be left to TM's periodic maintenance crew who likely carry fresh arches with them and could do an instant repair. If you don't see exposed copper or a smashed plug then don't call in a report (is my suggestion).

Charged at Burlington last night at about 10:30. Arrived with 18 rated miles on my M3 LR. Maximum charge rate was 122kw. This location is supposedly 150kw chargers. Has anyone gotten a significantly higher charging rate at this location?

When someone plugs into a paired station, that person will receive 36 kW of the theoretical 144 kW total available (it's more in some cases, depending on grid voltage). Until a second person plugs in, 100% of the power available to the first car.
I was not sharing a charger. There was only one other Tesla at the chargers, a MX, that was on 2A and I was on 4A.

Only the Model 3 can get the full 150kW right now. My S90 now gets 122kW when before the max was about 110kW.

Check the map in the car. All the formerly 120kW V2 superchargers have already been upgraded to 150kW max. The only exception I can find in the PNW is Ellensburg, which is still at 120kW max. The Tesla website hasn’t been updated yet.

As an FYI I visited this site for the first time and just as I exited I5 there were about 10 cars ahead of me on the off-ramp.... and then I saw there was a train blocking the road to the east. You can pass cars on the left shoulder leading up to the intersection and turn wide into the turn lane around the waiting cars. I didn't do this for about 10-15 minutes of lost time until someone ahead of me tried and succeeded.
Some of those trains are long and even come to a complete stop for other trains to pass ahead. You could be stuck there a long time if you aren't a little aggressive apparently.

This location was just added to Plugshare (lower marked point on map - existing supercharger shown at the top for scale)
Does anyone know if a second site is under construction, or if the user who added it is mistaken?

Some helpful person probably added that based on Tesla’s “Find Us” map. Notice how the pin is exactly centered in the name of the town.
I was just there last week and didn’t hear anything about more Superchargers in the area other than Blaine.
Someone recently posted on the Model 3 facebook group that this station is blocked by large snow piles.
