Smith tower is a cool spot to see if you want to take the touristy route. If you have time for hikes, I'd suggest going to Bridal Veil Falls/Serene Lake. You can never go wrong with FOB Poke or any poke place for that matter. And I'd recommend Tacos Chukis for simple but delicious tacos.

Lol @PWC1 is literally the epitome of Seattle attitude.

If you're caucasian, you'll have a blast.

Get to work, it's not vacation

Go to a ball game and go hiking. What's great about Seattle is that there're a ton of stuff to do. Pick one different activity a month.

Stop talking about FOB. It's not good. Don't go there.

I'd rather give actual recommendations than "Go hang out at Amazon!" ...

Bridal veils falls / lake serene is a great hike. Use wta.org to search for hikes based on different criteria you specify.

Looking for practical advice on improving my attitude to work.

So imagine an imaginary scale where 0 is the worst piece of work a studio could produce and 10 is the best possible outcome.

As an animator working in an agency, I normally end up involved in projects towards the end, so by the time I get my hands on a project I can add between 1 and 3 depending on how much effort I put in.

If a project is a 3 when I get it, how do I summon the energy to make it a 6 that I could to make a 7 a 10?

Do one tend to withhold annual raises in base salary over the other, or is this just a deloitte culture thing? Looking at exit opportunities all over. So lmk! I’d Rather get a small raise than none at all.
