All of us at Frause were so excited about starting a blog; we spent hours fighting over who would be responsible for the content. We drew straws, played rock paper scissors, even thumb wrestled for the honor. It turns out our interns have some strong thumbs (not to mention opinions). They also have the best opportunity to provide a “fly on the wall” look into the workings of Frause. Without further ado, we present Frause – through the eyes of our interns!

Making Seattle a Better Place

Last Thursday, Frause held a meet and greet event for Frause friends, clients and community leaders in support of Jessie Israel. Jessie, a third-generation Seattleite, is running for Seattle City Council, Position 6, and is a friend of the Frause team.

It was an awesome experience attending the event. I had met Jessie another time about a month ago, when she visited Frause to talk about her positions, but it was a different experience hearing her speak to a crowd. Jessie’s dedication to our city and its residents was evident in her short address last Thursday, as well as her drive to get things done while moving steadily toward the future. Her understanding of the issues facing our city and the greater region and her passion for change were both refreshing and reassuring in our city’s current state of environmental and economic troubles.

It was great for Frause to show its support for Jessie in her candidacy and to help spread the word of her goals and priorities to improve Seattle. I am proud to work for a company that is so involved within the Seattle community and cares about its future. Jessie Israel, Frause and supporters of Jessie are on the right track for bringing change to Seattle which will in turn make the area a better place to work and live.
