I&#x27;ve lived in Seattle since the late 80s when I got the hell out of Olympia WA where I grew up. I remember when it was nearly impossible to find a decent tech job in the city, and you had to cross a bridge to Bellevue or Redmond, which is non-optimal for so many reasons. I for one am happy as hell that tech is booming here. If you are thinking of coming here, do it, lots of us are welcoming to transplanted tech nerds.
