New Office

Two weeks ago my small, 11-person company moved from our Sodo location (south of downtown and the football and baseball stadiums) to the center of downtown. We are just a few blocks from the famous Pike Place Market.

There are a lot of reasons that this move is excellent.

We moved from an old warehouse space with no air conditioning into a space that actually looks like an office. We have AC, carpet, real doors (not ones that can only slide open because they rely on a heavy weight/pulley system hanging from the side of them), literally hundreds of lunch options (we used to have 3)....the list could go on and on.

My favorite, though, is that I now have a window! Formerly, I sat in what I had dubbed the "Business Bunker" - I had no natural light and couldn't even glimpse a window. Now, my desk is AT a window. And my view isn't too shabby either.

My new view - You can even see the Space Needle!!
I'm also very excited about my proximity to the market, where I can buy fresh seafood, vegetables, flavored pastas, flowers, and all the Seattle t-shirts I want!
