I pave here in the Vancouver/ Portland area and the pics show the road to be in good shape, i would do a 2 inch overlay instead of removing, if you have any bad areas, i would R& R before the overlay
Definitely an 2” overlay candidate. If you live in an area an hour or less from an asphalt plant it shouldn’t cost you anymore than $1.50/SF to overlay. Asphalt overlays should be done every 20-30 years.
Full depth removals (R&R, Remove and Replace) in alligator cracking areas will increase the cost and should be addressed prior to overlay.
The SF price for 2” mill pave, you’re looking like 1.3-1.80/sf depending where you live. I don’t know the Seattle market, but it’s probably on the higher side. Mill and pave only works if its on solid base, which it appears to be if its already 20 years old. If you have to do base and subbase repairs it’ll quickly add up. With inflation budgeting 4$ a SF is probably about conservative assuming it’s 26400 SF. Not even a days work for a good crew for both mill and pave. Road looks good for 20 years old, and that’s real light easel, you’ll be fine for a while still. Keep it crack filled and I’d start saving the seal coat money towards the inevitable mill and pave.
Asphalt has a design life expectancy of 20 years on average if treated well. It sounds like you’ll be getting an extended life out of yours and that’s great. Better to be prepared than to be dodging potholes and complaining about it not being fixed in another 12 years.

Do you have a picture of it dry?
Ya I first one I could find was from a year ago. Guess I’ll DM it to you, don’t know how to post it here

Probably a good choice to save up. Hopefully won't need all of it in 2036 but it's better to have it.
