Yearbook Spotlight: Jimmy Mitchell

by Owen Webster

If you want to catch Jimmy Mitchell, good luck. You might spot him late at night cruising through Seattle in his BMW, music blasting, or see him in the gym after finishing another rep after everyone else has gone home. His nickname is Microwave, this describes him perfectly, he’s always hot, always on, and ready to go.

“I’m in the gym every day,” Jimmy said when I asked about his passion. “You’ll always catch me there.” The gym is a lifestyle for Jimmy. That dedication shows up everywhere, from the weights to the hours he puts in on his job.

At night, Jimmy eats his favorite meal, steak and potatoes, before cracking open his laptop for a quick homework session. After that, the grind didn’t stop. When he’s not at school or the gym, Jimmy can be found working for Mariners games or going between Seattle’s stadiums. From T-Mobile Park dipping dots to taking pictures at Odea’s football games, he’s seen more action than your average fan.

Born and raised in West Seattle, Jimmy carries that pride wherever he goes. He’s determined, focused, and relentless. a kid who somehow finds a balance of work, school, and working out like it’s nobody’s business. Whether it’s the early mornings or the late nights, Jimmy is always on.

In a world where people like to slow down, Jimmy likes to speed up. Going from sporting event to sporting event, from job to gym, Jimmy is Always busy.
