Future of cloud computing is Seattle!
The visionaries of high tech have looked into the future and the future of cloud computing is Seattle!
Mr. Hilf, the vice president of cloud product management at HP, said recently “It’s like Detroit used to be for car companies,” he said. “The galactic players are here, and they are creating lots of little companies. The only thing driving anyone away from here is the weather.”
Rain or shine, Seattle has quickly become the center of the most intensive engineering in cloud computing: the design and management of global-scale data centers.

Last year, Mr. Hilf was hired from Microsoft’s giant cloud business, Azure, to spearhead HP’s efforts to build its own cloud service (based in Seattle, not at HP’s home in Silicon Valley), and build technology for other cloud companies.
His new office, in Seattle near the convention center. Amazon Web Services, the biggest of the cloud companies, is a six-minute walk from HP, in downtown Seattle. North over Queen Anne Hill, in the Fremont district, Google has a thousand engineers working on its cloud system. In Kirkland, near Microsoft, there is another Google facility.
What’s all the talk about the growth of cloud computing in Seattle mean for real estate? Sooner or later, it all comes back to the old maxim of “supply and demand.”
Hitorically, cities with jobs help fuel demand. If we have a ton of jobs here, demand goes up and so do real estate prices.
For example, the Mercer Island area has a 19.1% increase in closed sales over last year. The median price is up 36.8%. This house is just one example of the homes selling fast on Mercer Island.

There are homes for sale on Mercer Island. If they sell fast so if you’d like some information on a particular home, call Dave at 425-330-0663.
Inventory increased by 4 percent over August and newly listed homes were up 2.1 percent.
