Google, Apple, and Facebook are all locating in Downtown Seattle as well. Google has leased multiple buildings on the edge of Downtown that will have building permits possibly this month. Facebook has leased two buildings that are under construction near its other two buildings. Apple, Oracle, Twitter, Snap, HBO, and many others are in multi-tenant highrises.
It's not just techs. Safeco, Russell Investments, and Weyerhaeuser have all moved to Downtown Seattle in recent years. Recruitment is always a stated reason.
