Here are some pictures of Seattle. It probably would have been better to post these at the beginning of the summer but what can I say? I'm lazy. This really is like web sssssssppppppppppaaaaaaaaaacccccccceeeeeeeee log. Anyway, I've been here since late May. Summertime in Seattle is amazing. Probably the nicest summer (at least weather-wise) I've ever lived through).
Here's the office where I work. It is a small residential design company called Coop15. Don't ask about the name, I have no idea. Architects love words and like to think they can be clever with them. They rarely are.
Here are some pics of a few of my co-workers. They are all "intern-architects" officially. That means they've had a ton of architecture school but still aren't legally allowed to call themselves "architect." There's about 3 years of internship and a number of tests to take before that can happen. Ah, protectionism! The first is a pic of Zeke checking some drawings in the conference room. The second is of Steve and Trevor up to no good. The desk I sit at is in the lower foreground.
Here's a nice pic of the Queen Anne neighborhood. It is really nice and pretty fancy. It is also really white (like, I suppose, most of Seattle). That part is still strange to me. I don't think I've seen one black person here since I started work.
Queen Anne is on top of hill just north of downtown. My bike ride is brutal because I have to ride down Phinney Ridge, cross the Fremont Bridge and then ride back up Queen Anne hill. Then reverse on the way home. Usually by Friday of every week I need a break off the bike. I know, poor me. I think the bike ride to work is actually one of the reasons this has been such a great summer. What's better than riding your bike to work everyday when it is 70 degrees and sunny? OK. I better post this before it gets too long.... DS
