Throughout high school, an internship can be one of the best experiences! Not only is this going to look amazing on your college applications, but it’s also going to give you the chance to explore some fields and find out what you are interested in well before it’s time to declare your major. As a Seattle senior photographer, I have gotten the chance to connect with countless students who have seen the benefits firsthand. Here are the high school internships in Seattle I now always recommend!
