Today, our Officers and Executive Board went to Seattle! They were divided into 2 groups; the Expedia Team and the Design Team. Both teams first went to the Columbia Center Sky View Tower. At the very top of the building, the 73rd floor, there was an amazing view of the buildings and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. After overlooking the beautiful view, our Expedia Team headed over to the new Expedia HQ.
At the headquarters, the team met with Christie Hudson (Head of Public Relations) and she gave them a tour of the building! During this, the Central Public Library of Seattle provided us an amazing conference room. Our Design Team spent the afternoon with Kari Toms designing our 22-23 chapter t-shirt designs and preparing for the start of the school year! The Expedia Team met the designers there and they held a vote on the different designs to choose!
After our design meeting both teams went down to the Pike Place Market. They received a list of questions to ask local businesses in the market, for example, What are your most popular products?, What kind of business is this?, etc. They all bought a product from the business they chose to show everyone at our set-up meeting on September 1st.
When they finished, everyone walked around Seattle and explored one last time before leaving. They went through the gum wall and down post alley and from there back to the parking lot to head back to Lacey. Everyone had a blast in Seattle and can't wait for the new school year to start!
See you September 7th!
