@moira see if you can hit NE7MC in Kenmore. You should at least be able to get a beep out of it. Or look at https://www.repeaterbook.com/repeaters/location_search.php?loc=King&type=county&state_id=53 and try some others that might be near you, or at high elevation. You should be able to get a couple of miles line of sight with 5 watts.
