I got an internship at a company in Bellevue while I was still in highschool. The key is to attend networking events and meet people in positions to hire you. Come off as impressive, either technically competent or showing interest/knowledge of the company's area of business.

Where around Seattle are you from?

So then my question becomes: which networking events should I attend?

And I'm from Ballard, but I have access to a car so anywhere in the Seattle area works for me.

Go to meetup.com. Look for events that seem interesting and prioritize ones that are company sponsored or have high profile people attending. Do research on the companies of these people, and go have conversations with them and make it seem like you can provide value to them.
