I would like to see Tacoma, WA take this route. There's a lot of cheap housing there, and it's close enough to Seattle to be able to reasonably haul in some of the software engineers that might be a bit more financially constrained.
I could easily see an Startup Center coworking space being put together which links accelerators(plural), local universities, the city, and relevant infrastructure to allow a huge working space for very cheap rent until success comes together.

- markkanof 8y agoThis is real, but the severity seems way over blown. My brother lives in Tacoma and we visit him frequently. I have heard about this aroma, but have never actually experienced it during any of our visits.
- bytematic 8y agoThat sounds perfect! PR just like that will work, I like the personal touch.
- pnathan 8y agoThat really stinks. It's not the original Aroma, but there's often a certain odor in the air in the morning. Not that other major cities don't have issues there too.
