Reply to Subreddit for state employees by olympic889

The application status in my account was initially just, "Application Recieved." Now it updated to "Application Recieved, AGENCY NAME, and REQ. DATE JOB NO."

Does this mean someone from the agency has reviewed my app?

Reply to Looking to interview individuals who grew up in 90s Seattle by Active-Stand6298

I was born in 87 and grew up outside of Seattle. Both of my parents worked downtown so I did spend a lot of time in the city then. I'm happy to help with any questions you might have.

A good source for you will be the season of the real world when it was set in Seattle.

For the most part what I remember is that Seattle is pretty much the same as it is now but it was less crowded. The 90s was a big tech boom but not quite as big as it is now.

Ppl in Seattle were no where near as rich as they are now so everyone would be dressed down much more casually.

No big flashy stores. Most places were rundown/humble.

It was kind of a quite sleepy town. I'd vist places like Port Townsend or Spokane. Those have similar vibes to 90s Seattle.

No one was in much of a rush. You would see ppl at coffee shops catching up or just milling about.

The teens then were kinda rowdy. The grunge scene was huge and the kids here really lived the lifestyle. Smoking hang out by train tracks dressingfrumpy. Had no respect for authorities. Loitering skating and vandalized a lot. Just burnout hoodlums.
