Go to the REI store, get hiking gear and start hitting trails you find on WTA.org. Seattle is a beautiful city. Very scenic. Summer is also a good time for kayaking and paddle boarding in lake union or lake Washington. I could recommend living in Queen Anne or some place close to lake union your first year to really enjoy experience the seattle life. Suburbs can wait

I second this recommendation

Go take a stroll through downtown, look at all the homeless and the crime that our state and city "leadership" is subjecting us to. Then take a drive around the state to appreciate the natural beauty of this amazing place. I recommend The Cascade Loop, really awesome road trip.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
