THANKS TO OUR SPONSOR:

Have you ever walked by someone doing an interesting job and wondered: What does their day look like? Who do they meet throughout the day? What made them want to have that job in the first place?

This curiosity sparked a new series we’re calling “At Work With.” Every month, we’ll talk to a Pacific Northwesterner who does something cool — and ask them your questions about what it’s like to do what they do. Today, we bring you along as we spend time “At Work With” folks who operate bridges, video stores and the iconic Powell’s City of Books.

For our “At Work With” series, let us know who you want to hear from next! You can also send us questions you have for our next “At Work With” interview. We’re finding out what it’s like to be a poet from Oregon’s poet laureate, Anis Mojgani. Email us at theevergreen@opb.org or visit our web page to submit questions.
