Meet Suite 504.  It’s in the FX building in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square. I work there. At first glance, the sparse space looks rather ordinary and humble, quintessential office loft. It is approximately 2,000 square feet with an open floor plan accented with wooden beams and brick walls.  We thought about removing the commercial ceiling tiles [...]

When we decided to be acquired by Ascentium, we knew that things would change mostly for the better and some for the worse (from our perspective).
