[PLUG-JOBS] Sysadmin job opening in downtown Seattle (SAGE level II or III)

[branen salmon]

Hey, folks--

I know the commute from Portland to Seattle packs a wallop, but I figured 
I'd pass this along, just in case there are any bi-metro sysadmins looking 
for work.  Although the web application form requests you submit your 
application in MS Word format (zounds!), PDF, HTML, and text are also 
fine.
