funny Seattle only has "Silicon Canal" for the bit around Fremont where Google, Adobe, Tableau, GeekWire, Facebook, etc. have offices. you'd think between Amazon, Microsoft, Expedia, Zillow, Redfin, and the countless other tech companies with headquarters or satellite offices in the area that some nickname would have sprung up for the whole region. "Silicon Isthmus" or something.

maybe we're still riding the "Jet City" thing from when Boeing was here?

I prefer "Cloud City"

I'm pretty sure my little section of SOMA was called the Cloud Corridor before you guys were being called Cloud City, Joe ;).

Irrelevant, but I laughed really hard at "Silicotton Valley" on that list.
