Ask HN: Are there actually any exciting companies in Seattle?

I'm considering moving jobs, but I cannot for the life of me find a company that has a product or mission that I can feel passionate about. It's either work for one of the behemoths, or work for a company that provides services to other tech companies.

Does anyone have any tips for places I should be looking into? A bit of background on myself: 5 years full-stack experience with a bend toward modern JS / webapp development. 1 year management experience.

Am I doomed to work for Amazon?
