Blizzard Offices (orc pic) After you’ve lived in southern California, you might not want to go anywhere else. Irvine, California is consistently ranked among the US’s safest places to live. A city of pleasant suburbs flanked by bike paths and hiking trails, Irvine is well-organized, modern and easy to navigate. Located in Orange County, and packed with distinguished schools, colleges & universities, Irvine is a nexus of business and technology local and global. Irvine’s weather is temperate, warm and otherwise comfortable year-round—appropriate for a company named “Blizzard.” Our office is also perfectly placed: fifteen minutes from the beach, a half-hour from Disneyland, an hour from the glitz and culture overload of Los Angeles, and a few more hours and change from a myriad of other day-trip or weekend destinations, including the ski slopes of Big Bear, the beauty of Joshua Tree and Death Valley National Parks, and the lights of Las Vegas.
Laguna Beach is a seaside resort city located in southern Orange County, California, in the United States. It is known for a mild year-round climate, scenic coves, environmental preservation, and artist community.
