I finally got an answer out of King County yesterday morning on installing the T6 a bit closer than 7.5" to my ventilated brick wall - still leaving more than 7.5" to combustibles - YES, OK. Helpful note to others;
*Pay $160 for the permit, then call 206-296-6600 and explain you have a pre-installation question for the inspector. They got back to me next day (I left voicemail and followup email with details/photo.)
* Do not bother: emailing [email protected] - never got an answer, and do not bother posting the question on their website - you'll get an answer, but it will be completely useless. At least in my case :)

Unfortunately, with all the time that lapsed - PE apparently put through a big price increase on May 28th - putting the T6 at ~ $1100 more than a pre-increase T5 I was able to buy yesterday. I was pretty bummed to say the least, to go from the high of the yes to be able to install the T6, to the no-go due to the price increase.

Anyway, hope the above info helps someone else.
 
They way things are going, stove prices are going to be shocking this fall. Call around to every PE dealer within 90 miles to see if they have a T6 in stock that they are willing to let go for the old price.
 
I thought about that, but yesterday I figured one in the hand was worth 2 in the bush, so wrote a check and I'm a T5 owner now. Won't be installed right away, still working on extending the hearth out front, selecting new tile, etc.
 
The T5 is a sweet stove. It will serve you well. Is this the LE or LE2 model?
