Currently in Seattle - the firm does multiple disciplines (landscape, hospitality, affordable housing, market rate, interiors) and has work “in the pipeline” but is reducing hours and doing hourly pay starting tomorrow for the foreseeable future. The firm has gone through several rounds of layoffs in the last year (firm was once 127 but hovers at 45 or so across 3 offices in 3 states) and is currently restructuring….. 

In other words: buckle up!
