- will_work4tears 12y agoHuh, I think that list needs to be updated. I've seen an article on Omaha, NE being Silicon Prairie, as well as Kansas City (MO) and St. Louis. I'm sure if I noticed a few not on there, there's probably a bunch more.
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoSeattle is the Silicon Canal? I would have thought Amsterdam or some city with...you know...more than one canal, would get that title.
- rybosome 12y agoI'm assuming because of the heavy concentration of tech along the canal near the Fremont bridge? Agreed that it might give an incorrect picture of the structure of Seattle. :-)
- seanmcdirmid 12y agoThere are only a few companies in that corridor. Heck, I remember when they were just warehouses (I would run by on the trail toward Ballard everyday); then there was Adobe and then Google but first...the ultimate troll. Seattle is more forested and green in color than Portland...I always thought we had that title (Silicon Forest). Maybe Silicon Lakes?
