Avvo new office

As I write there is an unusual amount of commotion in the Avvo offices. We’ve moved from our home of the past 18 months, in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square, to new and larger digs in the heart of downtown.

Why did we move? Quite simply, we needed more space. While we’ve always been pretty conservative with space (Mark and I have shared an office since we started the company), last month we were forced for the first time to put an employee’s desk in a hallway rather than an office. Our new space, while not having quite the same character as our offices in Pioneer Square (where previous tenants included Internet companies Redfin and Real Networks), gives us alot more room to spread out and to grow. And being just a block from Macy’s and Nordstrom, it should help with the holiday shopping.

Even though we had a freak snowstorm during the move this weekend everything went smoothly. Except there seems to be no heat. But, as always, our team has adapted, as you can see from Sachin’s winter wardrobe.
