Today was our first day in Seattle for our "Understanding Entrepreneurship in the Silicon Valley" J-term trip. The day mostly consisted of travel, but we did have some time to explore the city at night and get our first local meal.
Our journey from Minneapolis to Seattle went without a problem. I was a bit worried that the -15 weather was going to delay our flight (like some of the other flights who were missing crew and planes traveling from Chicago), but we left right on time. When we arrived in Seattle it was 40 and overcast, which felt warmer than it should have (I'm sure our group looked odd for being so happy about weather in the 40s). After taking the light-rail into the city we found our hotel which is right downtown which is great. Once we checked into the hotel the whole group (all 12 of us) went to a nice grill restaurant downtown where I had some delicious and fresh fish tacos. After that, a group of us went exploring on the waterfront and found a carnival-esque wharf that had an overpriced Ferris Wheel and an indoor arcade and carousel. So after exploring that for a while we found our way back to the hotel for the night.
So not much entrepreneurial learning yet, but we have our first meeting with Amazon tomorrow morning which I am looking forward to!
