Not many places equal to Seattle on that front if we want to be honest about it
My guess is that those people came from all over the country and world to work in Seattle where they adjusted to that corporate and local vibe.

What about Charlotte? Or Nashville, both make more sense geographically for logistical purposes than Texas. I agree Austin would appear to be the top choice on a whim. Will be interesting.
I could also see somewhere like Louisville?

They came there in part FOR Seattle.
My company's west coast office is in a downtown Seattle highrise. If you told ANY of those people they were moving to a conservative east Texas suburb masquerading as a fake town, they'd quit on the spot.
This office isn't starting from scratch. They'll have to move a significant worker and executive "seed" corps. There's a small list of cities where those people will move, and remember the executives making the decisions have the same prejudices, believe me. They also need LOCAL tech talent and a place that ALREADY attracts tech workers.
Basically: Denver, Austin, Nashville, or somewhere in North Carolina like the research triangle because it's pretty, nice, new, and has a lot of local talent. They sure as frick aren't setting up shop in some hellhole like Memphis and they want a low-tax low-regulation environment, so it ain't going to be New York or New Jersey.
