Additional Contract Information:
Anywhere within the Seattle-Tacoma metro area, I'm `local.' Additionally, I can report to work onsite elsewhere in the Pacific Coast region on short notice.

I'll establish a temporary residence close to work if that's appropriate. My preference is Pacific Coast. I have technical understanding of a wide range of hardware, firmware, and software technologies and use several different authoring tools.
