I am pretty sure Flickr was based in Vancouver before they were bought by Yahoo, so this does not smell right.
Updated: the SFGate article mentions Flickr too, but says they meet there now - or at least "then" (i.e mid 2007), not pre-Yahoo. So the NYT piece is definitely a pretty poor cut & paste job.
