Where this leads

Real career pipelines from this school, based on alumni outcomes and recruiting patterns.

Tech: Seattle/Tacoma corridor (Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe); strong bootcamp pipeline
Biotech: South Sound life sciences cluster (Amgen, Juno, Benaroya); niche but solid
Finance: Mid-tier Seattle regional banks and insurance (Weyerhaeuser, Alaska Air); not NYC-level recruiting
Timber/Natural Resources: Pacific Northwest forestry and paper companies; declining industry but still hires locally
Public sector: State/federal agencies in Olympia and regional offices; stable, less competitive than private
