1. Sep 19, 2026Puyallup Heating & Air Conditioning — evidenceWasThe Genstar investments link on this record pointed at https://www.gencap.com/investments/.NowIt points at https://www.gencap.com/company/genstar-investments/ — the same page the four other SEER Group records already cited.A link check of all 55 published evidence URLs on 2026-09-19 returned 404 for the first URL and 200 for the second. The cited claim (Genstar lists The SEER Group as a current investment) is unchanged; only the address was wrong, and it was wrong from the moment the record was published.
2. Sep 18, 2026Gene Johnson Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical — license detailWasThe state record is not in active standing in the L&I open dataset as of the fetch date shown. The dataset does not state why.NowThe suspended record is the Gene Johnson electrical license specifically; at the same fetch the same legal entity (UBI 604833538) also held Gene Johnson construction and plumbing licenses in ACTIVE standing, so the suspension is not a finding about the whole business.Direct query of the WA L&I general dataset (data.wa.gov m8qx-ubtq) for UBI 604833538 on 2026-09-18: GENEJJP750MP (electrical) SUSPENDED, alongside GENEJJP767C2 (construction) and GENEJJP760DO (plumbing), both ACTIVE.

When a published ownership call, ownership path, confidence grade or cited source changes, it is listed here with its date and the source that established it. A changed label should be visible, not silently rewritten.

What you can check today

License details — status, expiry, legal-entity id, and the principals of record — come from the state and you can look them up directly: verify a contractor at WA L&I ↗. That lookup is authoritative for those license details only. It does not substantiate the ownership calls, ownership paths, or confidence grades on this site, which are editorial research drawn from sources cited on each record.
