Hi Metin,
I'm not familiar with "East Buckley" -- I looked it up and found Buckley, WA, South of Seattle and east of Puyallup. Is that correct? (If it's an area of Seattle I don't know about, then someone will correct me).
If it is, then if you have or can borrow a car, you will probably be able to find work in Buckley, Enumclaw, or Puyallup, I think. But, you have a very short timeframe (summer), and it's a maybe/maybe not sort of thing. Because the economy is so bad, there are more people competing for small jobs, even at Starbucks. You will have to arrive and put your application in at just the right time -- just as they need to hire a new person -- and hope that some position is available soon. There are lots and lots of Starbucks, and I often see signs that they are hiring, so if you have transportation and you can work at any time of the day, then you can might find something. It will be best to put your applications in in person -- you can ask for an application and ask for the manager on duty, give them the application, and explain to them that you are here until September on your work and travel program and want to work with people in Washington. They will probably be happy to hear this, except for the "until September" part.
The hard thing is that you will be competing with college students on their summer break here, too. And by June 20 they will already probably have their jobs. So, my advice would be to take a few days in all the areas that you can easily get to for work, and apply everywhere that you would be willing to work. You will need a phone number where they can reach you right away -- when a manager needs to hire someone, they sit down with all of the applications and select the ones that look good and start making phone calls. You want to answer the phone immediately and be able to come back and meet them again right away.
Your friend might be able to help by talking to people locally about who might be hiring for summer jobs. Then, when you are here, you can follow up in person.
Here is an application for Starbucks:
http://media.starbucks.com.edgesuite...pplication.pdf -- you'll want to print it, fill it out (leave salary blank), make lots of good-quality copies, and take them to all the Starbucks that you would be able to get to for work.
If you ARE planning to drive here, please keep in mind that driving here is nothing like driving in Turkey. Ack!!! You will have a lot to learn to do differently here if you do drive! My experiences in cabs in Istanbul were terrifying for the first few days.
It is beautiful country here -- you will be near to Mt Rainier and I hope you get some time to drive into places like Sunrise and Paradise during the week (weekends are VERY crowded in Paradise, but still worth the trip). You will find the ferry system is similar to Turkey, but the weather is cooler, especially on the water.
Good luck and I hope you have a wonderful summer here!
