Any info on what it's like at the facility would be greatly appreciated. I did a search and couldn't find much out there. Thanks in advance!

A friend of mine works there and I went to their Halloween party last year. The people seemed pretty cool and when I took a tour of the facility it seemed like a sweet place to work. Renton is nice and you won't have to deal with the Seattle vehicular traffic.

I took a tour this past March and it was a very nice facility. The people were very nice and the traffic looked pretty slow. There were only two aircraft in the sector I was watching and it was around 1:00. They said they get busy at times but overall the traffic was a fair amount. The center is located in Auburn and it looked like a fairly nice place to live despite being rainy the whole time I was there. I was hoping for ZSE but I'm also very happy with ZLC.
