Microsoft, Boeing, Costco, Amazon, Nordstrom, Starbucks....just an example of some of the heavy hitters that were born here in the Puget Sound area. So why is King County so deep in debt?
I find it exciting to be in the birthplace of these giants. According to this morning's Seattle Times, Costco and Nordstrom have posted sales gains for October - perhaps a sign that folks are shopping again. However, Microsoft is laying people off, and the unemployment rate is expected to hit 9.9 percent. Yikes! Will this ever end?
