Seattle tops Boston as North America's No. 2 tech spot

The full data that the article refers to is here: http://www.milkeninstitute.org/nahightech/nahightech.taf

I moved to Seattle (well, Redmond) two weeks ago. What resources should I be hitting up to get involved in the startup scene?

Also consider the Npost.com events, Saturday House, Startup Drinks (seattle.startupdrinks.com), Andy Sack's Open Coffee, the East Side and Six Hour Startup events.

Also Seattle Barcamp is next weekend (http://barcampseattle-09.pathable.com/ )

You might try out Lunch 2.0. http://www.seattlelunch20.com/, or the Seattle DORKBOT scene http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/

Dorkbot isn't super useful for startups, but it's great if you just want to meet a bunch of interesting nerds.

If you want startups, join the Seattle Tech Startups mailing list (Google it), and you'll have more than enough events and information. There's a monthly meeting, a weekly breakfast, pub crawls, and tons more.

An amazing company called QL2 is based out of Seattle. It's not a startup though.
