This time next year will be a great spot for chargers and cherry blossoms. 
For now just a little bit of progress with the cement work.

Only change I saw was the signage and the posts near the cabinets. Maybe an awning over those?

Simply Thai is awesome! Been going there for years. Staff is always great and the food is so yummy! Oh and thanks for the update. Been wanting to swing by to check.As seen on Sunday, April 10. Good Thai restaurant near the Supercharger.

Wow I was in that center a couple weeks ago and didn’t even notice the construction. 
That’s a good area for one since EA is already there on the other side of the lot and relatively close to Sea-Tac and downtown Seattle. Lots of commute traffic that passes by the I5/405 interchange.

(As a West-Seattleite ... isn't your home the most convenient site? West Seattle is still largely R1, with only limited pockets of higher-density development that doesn't have off-street parking)
Unfortunately not for me.
I'm in a townhome where getting a wall connector isn't feasible (dedicated outdoor parking, where a 110v outlet exists within range, but unfortunately an upgrade to a wall connector would involve the HOA). With the recent announcements related to the mobile connector no longer being included (and being out of stock) [1], my only remaining viable option is a supercharger.
[1] Mobile Connector no longer included with new cars [posted 04/16/2022]
There's an update to that story where Musk suggested (again, via twitter) that you'd be able to get the mobile connector with your new car, basically as a dealer-installed-option. So still costs more, but should be consistently available.
Given lack of charging at at your home, I'd suggest the the chargers at Whole Foods or the Bowling ally. Or at least, I'd suggest the bowling alley if the CCS adapter was available: $0.2/kWh after 7pm is pretty cheap.
Man, I'd not realized what a Level-2 charging desert West Seattle is.
Charge at work?

As someone who lived in an apartment for 4 years with only a 110V outlet, I can assure you that you will want to get a UMC by any means possible (they frequently get sold in fb groups for example). Not having L2 charging at home is kind of inconvenient. But not having any charging at home is just brutal. L1 home charging is underrated imo . It's literally infinitely better than having nothing.
