I’ve been to this state a few times, working as an advisor to a large retailer there. Each time, I flew into fog. I never was able to see Mount Rainier. During the 1970’s, dress code for professionals, was ridiculous. I was required to wear a dark suit, a while shirt, and a tie. I did. The company complained to my management that I had come in jeans. The truth? I wore a super cool denim suit that was very tasteful. My management was not amused but I kept my job.
My client was very uncomfortable for me. When I took a business trip, I preferred to check into a hotel, have dinner (by myself), read a book and prepare for my next days presentation. These, high level executives in Seattle, preferred that I join them for a long night of drinking and making disgusting comments about women.
I have few good things to say about my experiences.
I would like to go back to this beautiful State and truly experience it.
