Any recommendations on "local to seattle/greater seattle" area executive MBA programs... am new to this area. Also has anyone gone through it and has comments?
Look up No pay MBA. I am not saying that a business education is bad but you don't need to pay six figures.

Seattle University offers a robust MBA program.
Don't do it. You are a PM at MSFT. If you are gonna do an MBA, do a proper one. (Not in Seattle)
Not in seattle, but I did my exec mba from duke a while back - company paid. my take on mbas is that if you want to change your core area to finance, marketing, banking / it helps / because it easily gets your internship or your first job. That too full time. Many exec formats restrict you for campus jobs. Other than that, not sure why someone would do one.
My MBA was from 5 years working at MSFT. Left and got a 60% bump. I think MBAs are overrated, imho. Nothing better than otj experience, good managers and a great team. Unless you're heading to Wall Street or whatnot...
why u want to do this?
