Hi all, For background, I am an incoming analyst at PJT/EVR/HL RX. Would love to settle down in the area. Not sure what opportunities there are for someone with my background as the finance scene seems to be dominated by tech types, so would appreciate if anyone familiar with the area could share their knowledge!

While Seattle is not explicitly mentioned in the provided context, the general advice and insights from other cities can be applied. Seattle's finance scene may indeed be dominated by tech, but there could be niche opportunities in sectors like healthcare or consumer goods.

Rainier Partners. Cascadia Capital. That’s about it
Frazier has a big presence in Seattle. Really strong HC investors
Dm if you wanna chat
Can you give me a PM would love to chat
Frazier (focuses on HC) is probably the more famous one. Rainier and Sound Growth, both are pretty new. Think Point72 has a VC team there.
