They're all just starting out on our Redmond campus and getting a taste of Seattle along the way. What will they encounter next? Watch as they disover what life at Microsoft is really like!Summer in Seattle: Just another reason to move here
For many candidates who come to the Microsoft campus, it’s their first time visiting Seattle. When I ask them what they think about it so far, there are two first impressions that I always hear.The first thing I frequently hear is, "Everyone here is so nice." Seattleites give off a general vibe of being laid-back, good natured people. Everyone feels a connection to the community.
The second comment that I hear (and even more common) is, "It’s SO green here." While Seattle has a reputation for being a rainy city, it gives us lush, green landscapes that keep their vitality through the drier months of summer.
Combined, these things are what make the Pacific Northwest the ‘place to be’ in the summer. Add to that a constant steam of festivals, concerts, outdoor movies, local markets and street fairs, and you can see what summers in Seattle are truly special.
