Telecommuting in the state of Washington

There's an interesting blog entry with some responses from people that telecommute in North Kitsap, Washington. One of the respondants works from home for Alaska Airlines as a reservations specialist. Her name's Mary Crawford. She sings the benefits of working from home: reclaiming four hours of her day by not commuting, saving money on gas, and getting sleep back. Another woman works from home as a medical transcriptionist and names a few local companies that employ telecommuters. Apparently, there's a bill out in Seattle supporting a new telecommuting initiative. And a lot of local employers over there see the benefits already.
