Its not really going to do anything for the local economy, because these are 100 jobs that already existed. They are just being moved to a reasonably sized building for the remaining workforce. What this article fails to mention is that the other 500 that were laid off, lost their jobs to people in the Phillipines and other overseas locations. this is not good news… its not bad… but not good news either.

The jobs moving here aren't new ones, they are just moving the people they already have. But maybe it will increase some traffic at other nearby businesses. With the slow economy we have in this area any change is welcome! Yes, the downsizing did make the news…on at least 2 channels.

They are also selling off large chunks of their network. So the move might last as long as the lease agreement on the building. They won't mention they have laid off or fired about 500+ people over the past year to down size. Or sent most of their top employees to other cities such as Vegas and/or Kirkland. Them down sizing didn't make the news did it? Don’t get to excited, they aren’t hiring, they already have the people in place they need to do the job.
