Trip to Renton, WA

I made my first business trip to the home office of Classmates.com. Its located in Renton, WA, which is about 10 to 15 minutes outside Seattle.

I enjoyed the trip. Alaska Air is a nice airline, the planes are pretty clean and reasonably new and the flight crews were pleasant (not quite Southwest-jovial but I think I like it a little more low-key). The office is very nice, two floors of a building that was part of Boeing’s campus when there corporate headquarters were out there. And it was great (albeit tiring) to meet almost everyone I’d been emailing with and talking on the phone. I just hope I can remember all the names….

The weather wasn’t as great. I’d compare what I experienced to what I experienced in Amsterdam – some rain, some partly sunny skies, and coolish temperatures.

No, we’re not!

The plastic utensils at the pizza place at the airport were very interesting and not very useful
