Seattle is synonymous with serious innovation and incubation. It supports an eclectic mix of established companies and startups, as well as small businesses and those owned by people of color. The University of Washington offers a world-class computer science program. Industry clusters in popular fields such as gaming—Nintendo of America, Microsoft Xbox, Big Fish, PopCap and RealNetworks GameHouse—thrive here. Now Bay Area tech companies—Facebook, Google, Salesforce, Dropbox and Adobe—are pushing the digital envelope from Seattle.
Seattle already leads in cloud computing, thanks to Microsoft, Amazon and more than 2,000 Seattle-based Google employees. Coming soon are scores of good-paying gigs in computing trends such as intelligent applications, artificial intelligence/machine learning and augmented reality/virtual reality.
