us-west-2 certainly hasn't done much to make The Dalles, Oregon a tech hub (or even Portland for that matter)

A lot of people I talk to get excited "Google is coming to town" and it's like, you don't want warehouses (datacenters) moving in, you want engineers, designers, marketing teams, c-suite to move in. Intel is an example for Columbus of one of those things you really do want to come into town, which is why it's such a big deal.
