Seattle — "infrastructure"
We build the infrastructure for the "start ups" in SF to use the "money" from NYC.
We began by selling mining equipment and travel to the SF startups that ventured to the Alaska Gold Rush.
We grew up building the airplanes and ships for the expanding US military (Boeing & Lockheed Shipbuilding).
We built the supply chains that run the global economy (Amazon, Costco, Expeditors Intl, UPS, Paccar)
We built the software infrastructure for the computer revolution (Microsoft).
We built the infrastructure for the cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP, F5, etc.)
We built the infrastructure for video games (Nintendo, Steam, Xbox)
We're building the infrastructure for AI/ML (All the major players are setting up their AI/ML hubs in Seattle)
