Summer Housing

So big news. Last night I got an email from the company with my summer housing assignment, and I still haven't quite picked my jaw up off the floor.

They're putting us (7 of us interns) in corporate housing in downtown Seattle. This facility is nothing short of incredible. It looks like a five-star hotel - and I'm not exaggerating. It is fully furnished, and they are putting us all in 2-bedroom 2-bath apartments that include - and it's really kind of sad that I'm this excited about this - washers and dryers in the unit. Each room has a queen-size bed that looks like something out of the Marriott. The building also has a 20,000 square foot health club/gym, a swimming pool, a lap pool, and even a tanning salon. And it's one block from the Space Needle, Key Arena, and the center of downtown. Seroiusly, Westlake center is less than a mile from our apartment. We're right in the midst of a bunch of great restaurants and bars and theaters and such.

I really didn't know what to expect since I've never lived in corporate housing before, but this place has exceeded my wildest expectations. I am so excited for this summer. It's going to be awesome living downtown and working at this company!

That sounds great man!!!! You'll have to post up a few of the pictures online! Sounds like it's going to be a great time. I'm sure you are going to have to work like a horse, but as long as you have a nice place to lay your head and a good location for going out on the weekends...who cares.
