[Imports] Redmond WA Address Import proposal

[Matthew Whilden]

Tracking back a bit further, there's this thread from the local user group
getting permission to use the data in 2012. (
https://groups.google.com/g/osm-seattle/c/XhQwyBlkqeI?hl=en) Should I
understand that this permission should be considered expired? Not covering
the data I wish to use? Some other thing?

Seeking some clarity so that, presuming new communication needs to happen,
that it's granted in a more durable way. I will try to follow up with the
other folks from this rather old thread.
