"This is a map of companies in Seattle that do software work. It is not limited to companies headquartered in Seattle, but includes any company with a development office in the area. I've tried to keep companies off the map that are out of business or not yet viable, but please let me know if there is something that needs to be added, removed or edited."

非常感谢这个地图的制作者Adam。
地图是08年创建的，不晓得这次经济危机对于小公司影响有多大。
每所公司的标签上都有公司网址。从地图上可以看出公司大多集中在Seattle Downtown和Bellevue。

City of Seattle不是特别大，一般提到西雅图很大意义上指Greater Seattle Area
Kirkland在Lake Washington的的东岸，Seattle在西岸
M$在Redmond，在Bellevue downtown也有地盘
btw，Bellevue经济也不错，大大小小的公司也有不少，和Seattle隔湖相望

以下摘录自UW CSE webpage：
http://www.cs.washington.edu/info/aboutus/

The Puget Sound region is increasingly prominent as a national and international technology center.

Key strengths of the University of Washington include medicine, biotechnology, the physical sciences, and computing and allied areas of science and engineering.

Many of the central players in "digital convergence" are headquartered here, such as  Microsoft, Nintendo of America, RealNetworks, and Teledesic. There is major activity in high performance computing (Tera Computer Company (now Cray); the Department of Energy Pacific Northwest National Laboratory), as well as a rapidly growing biotechnology industry (established industry leaders such as Immunex (now Amgen) and Zymogenetics, plus newer companies such as Rosetta (now Merck) stimulated by Leroy Hood's research which is currently housed in the Institute for Systems Biology). Seattle's Amazon.com defines e-commerce, and there is a burgeoning digital content industry, with CSE's Animation Research Labs integrally involved.

Seattle, consistently acclaimed as one of the most livable cities in the nation, is a terrific place to be. Seattle is a cosmopolitan city situated in the midst of the beauty and diversity of the Pacific Northwest. The University of Washington is located on Lake Washington, a few miles east of Puget Sound. The Cascade Mountains are one hour to the east; the Olympic Peninsula and Olympic Mountains are two hours to the west.
