Employers that hire people with a record, Seattle (update)

I got a lead on a company that does not ask about convictions on the first application. It has been a long 7 weeks. The HR contact was kind and direct. Has anyone worked at these places?

Be honest, brief and forward-looking when you talk about it. They care more about what you did since.

Check your record before you apply so nothing surprises you. A free legal clinic helped me look.
