Just getting the word out that Applications are available and being accepted at the bellevue Sturtevant's location.
It is going to be at Southcenter mall this year instead of Northgate (don't ask me why because I have no idea).
It's not particularly difficult work and its a good opportunity to meet people in the industry.
Questions? call the bellevue store (425) 454 6465
Don't ask me because I won't be checking this for another 3 weeks!

What are the chances of ONE getting shot there? Or what are the chances that YOU specifically will get shot?

yeah bonkers is just too far away this year for it to be worth it for me. If you live near there get an app in its a great way to get to know some people who run the shop and possibly more jobs after

intriguing cody...

but if you just work bonkers or something, you really wont get access to proforms, just discounts on what is there. you actually have to work in the shops to get the proforms.

Hmmm, I live in the U district. But I have a job, and screw work on weekends, even if I get a great discount. I might bum a ride down there just to see whats goin on though. Maybe get some bindings for my new skis.

its Sturtevant's big pre-season sale over labor day weekend. It has been going on for years. Used to be at Seattle Center, and it has been at Northgate Mall for years untill this year, where it will be at Southcenter. Has most of the new stuff, plus stuff from last year and other years that are even further discounted. There can be some pretty good deals. It is pretty amazing how many people buy their stuff there for the season, and since last season was really good, I bet it will be crackin (unless the Southcenter move has an impact)

I think it's 16 to work there. Usually you have to help in the set up/take down, as well as the actual sale (but who knows what exactly you'll be dong). It's a fun gig.
