Seattle is a bustling place to be all year round. But it is especially busy, during the holiday season! So just like Seattle this time of year, KellyMitchell is taking no time off, and our Seattle office is bursting with energy! So in honor of all the growth we’re experiencing in Seattle and our open positions as a Recruiter or Business Development Manager, we decided to highlight the Emerald City, in this month’s Holiday Edition of KM Around Town! So grab some egg nog or hot cocoa as we explore Seattle during the holiday season!

Be sure to check out the Light Up the Night 3D mapping display on the outside of the mall as a bonus!
