Seattle on the horizon…
Feb 12 2008 – by Josh in Seattle / Trips
Some exciting news has taken place here at FSI headquarters of the past few weeks. This June/July we’re packing up and moving to Seattle. Dun, dun, dun! Unlike last summer in San Francisco, this will be an extended stay as I settle into my first full-time job post grad school. As for the position, I simply couldn’t be happier — I’ll be an Interaction Designer for Google. It truly is a dream job for where my interests are and what I want to do for a living. Lauren and I both feel pretty great about this decision, yet the hard part will obviously be leaving everything we’ve known and appreciated here for well… oh, our entire lives so far. :(
As of last weekend I’ve officially accepted the job, and this weekend we’re off to visit the area for the first time, complete with an arranged housing tour and a dinner with the future co-workers. Everyone up there has been overwhelmingly welcoming, and I’ve already worked with a few of them from this past summer.
Below is a box of swag they sent along (as if we didn’t have enough already) and a picture of me signing the documents to make it official.
Logos everywhere!

Life as I know it is over. Do you think you guys can hurry up and invent a matter transporter so we can be there instantaneously instead of having to buy plane tickets? Just get to work on that Google boy. I’ll supply the materials.
Congratulations. That is SO exciting.
I am so excited for you both. Jill and I will miss you dearly but now we have another reason to travel. New Years at our place!
Wow! That is great news. Josh and I have always wanted to visit there. Now we’ll have an even better reason to visit.
Congrats! Here I was thinking you’d be back in the bay. Oh well. Thanks for stopping by my site :)
