This article points out that Seattles success can almost completely be attributed to Bill Gates and Paul Allens decision to move Microsoft back to Seattle. It made me think that if they hadnt moved here, Expedia (a Microsoft spinoff) wouldnt be here. Without Microsoft you wouldnt have the hundreds of agencies with their thousands of consultants and staff that support Microsoft. The real estate boom wouldnt have happened here, which means we probably wouldnt have Zillow here (or the many other real estate startups). Plus all the startups and the VC firms and..(etc., etc.) Plus if Bill and Paul had stayed in Albuquerque, and built that area into a tech hub, would Jeff Bezos have moved to Seattle to start Amazon, or back to his hometown of Albuquerque?
