Do you take Seattle clients in person?

Yes. Shawn Moore travels to Seattle quarterly. Most engagements combine on-site working sessions in Puget Sound with weekly video steering meetings between visits.

What does an engagement look like for a mid-market Seattle company?

The typical sequence is a 2–4 week paid AI Growth Audit ($15K–$35K range), followed by a fixed-scope 90-Day Execution Blueprint ($25K–$50K range). Most companies decide on the long-term advisory shape — fractional CAIO, internal hire, or quarterly cadence — only after one full 90-day cycle.

AI Consultant for Seattle and Puget Sound Mid-Market CEOs

Why Puget Sound mid-market is at an AI inflection point

Seattle is the Pacific Northwest's cloud-and-AI capital and a major life-sciences and aerospace hub, and its mid-market is in the middle of an uneven AI inflection. RSM's 2025 Middle Market AI Survey found 91% of mid-market organizations across the US and Canada now use generative AI in operations, but the same survey flagged that governance maturity and internal expertise still lag adoption sharply across every US metro.

Seattle's economic base — cloud infrastructure, aerospace, life sciences, and logistics — sits on top of some of the world's most mature AI vendor ecosystems. For mid-market CEOs here, the risk isn't under-investment; it's over-investment in vendor tooling without matching governance.

Washington-specific considerations

Washington's My Health My Data Act (2023) sets one of the strictest consumer health-privacy regimes in the US and applies broadly to AI use cases processing consumer health data. Aerospace and defense engagements navigate ITAR/EAR; life sciences engagements navigate FDA SaMD and HIPAA.

Seattle's AI engineering bench is among the deepest in the world; the constraint at the mid-market layer is executive prioritization and vendor discipline.

How we work with Seattle clients

Most Seattle engagements run on a hybrid cadence: on-site working sessions when scope warrants, weekly video steering meetings, and async document review between sessions. Shawn Moore travels to Seattle quarterly. Engagements are invoiced in USD; Canadian entities of US clients can be billed in CAD on request.
