So would you say that if one were in the pattern that it would imply
the same responsibilities of ATC as if I were on, say, flight
following?

As Gary points out, whether or not ATC is coordinating transit through ot=
her
airspace, you still need the clearance. Beyond that, since flight into t=

Class B isn't necessary for operating at KBFI, there would be no need for
ATC to coordinate transit through the Class B, and thus you would have no
expectation that they would.

You mean flight into class B for landing at BFI is not *normally*
required. In this particular case I maintain it was for safe
separation.

Given the above is true, how do you think AIM 3-2-1d figures in? ...

"d.VFR requirements. It is the responsibility of the pilot to insure
that ATC clearance or radio communication requirements are met prior to
entry into class B, Class C, or Class D airspace. The pilot retains
this responsibility when receiving ATC radar advisories. (See 14 CFR
Part 91)"
