Working in Seattle

[tannerz]

I am heading up this weekend to hunt down a job and see the wife.. I will be going up a few more times before my culinary education is done in March here in Phoenix. Where would you suggest a fresh out of school, dedicated student, with dreams of greatness, and passion to follow through find a great P&B job. Leaning towards breads or dessert type sweets, with an artistic touch... I am building a list for my next visit... Thanks in advance...

Earth & Ocean at W Hotel for desserts?

For my money, James Miller at Cafe Besalu rules the local patisserie scene. His operation is small, and I have no idea if he has openings, but absolutely stop in and see what he is up to.

Eats in W. Seattle has consistently good baking - I really enjoy it. Reports from someone who worked there from startup until recently didn't feel there was a lot of growth/experimentation potential, but thought the owner/chef(s) were easy to work for.

I've heard Columbia City bakery is hiring.

thanks to all for the suggestions, and the PM's... The top two from this trip were Dahlia and Tall Grass.. my Feb trip will hopefully be a formal interview at both, as well as Essential, and a few yet to be determined... The stops for this trip included Besalu, Dahlia, Tall Grass, Macrina, Frans, Amore Chocolates (a few doors down from Frans) Essential (corp was closed) and a few catering companies...

Thanks again for all the suggestions....
