Forbes recently rated Seattle #1 in the country for our tech jobs. Hopefully these techies will buy some condos 😉
During tough economic times, technology is often seen as the one bright spot. In the U.S. this past year technology jobs outpaced the overall rate of new employment nearly four times. But if you’re looking for a tech job, you may want to consider searching outside of Silicon Valley. Though the Valley may still be the big enchilada in terms of venture capital and innovation, it hasn’t consistently generated new tech employment.
Take, for example, Seattle. Out of the 51 largest metro areas in the U.S., the Valley’s longtime tech rival has emerged as our No. 1 region for high-tech growth, based on long- and short-term job numbers. Built on a base of such tech powerhouses as Microsoft, Amazon and Boeing, Seattle has enjoyed the steadiest and most sustained tech growth over the past decade.
Here's the full article from Forbes.
Congrats to all our Seattle geeks and to the local economy. Nice to see some good news from time to time!

This is interesting and, hearing from an Amazon recruiter recently, a lot of these tech companies based out of Seattle hire 70-80% off Linkedin. Maybe a lot of these larger based tech companies are beating out the small boutiques in Silicon Valley.
I am in Portland and have clients interested in moving up. What is your percentage of condos that are short sales?? Do you have a referral program?
We have around 20% of short sales in Seattle and around 16% near the downtown core. Yes, we do have a referral program. Feel free to email me at [email protected].
