Parking
Ontela
recommends the nearby Butler Garage at 114 James St.
Please bring your parking stub with you to the
interview, and we will make sure that you have the
proper validation. There are scores of other
parking lots around the area. If the Butler
Garage is full, we suggest parking in the “Sinking
Ship Lot” across the street.
Hint: there are three levels; if the top one is full, try parking a little lower. The “Sinking Ship Lot” does accept all major credit cards. Don’t forget to put the slip the machine gives you on your dashboard.
Killing Time
Arrive
early? No worries, you’re downtown! You can come
to the office; we’re happy to set you up in a
conference room to hang out for a bit. In fact, we
have a room for the purpose that has a PC and a demo
phone with our software installed so you can play
around with it while you wait (or just check your
email). If you’re more adventurous and/or really
early, you should check out some of the amazing
haunts nearby. We have dozens that we love, but
here are a few of our favorites:
- Starbucks
Not much
to say: it’s in the lobby of our building, it’s
predictable, it’s caffeinated. Get your double shot
of whatever.
- All City Coffee
Better
coffee and cool wooden tables, this is our favorite
place for offsite strategy powwows.
- Salumi
If it’s
around lunch time and you’re not particularly
vegetarian, this is a must-try. According to Chef
Anthony Bordain, the best restaurant in Seattle.
Just a few blocks from our front door, you’ll find
us here whenever we are feeling meat-deficient.
- Patissimo’s
The owner,
Luigi, is a friend of Ontela’s and he makes a mean
pasta.
- Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
Swing by
here on your way out and pick up some chocolates or
one of their megasauroid “caramel” apples. Your
family will thank you; your dentist will not.
