worked closely with other groups from the region including the
Governor’s office, the City of Bellevue, the Bellevue Chamber of
Commerce, the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and
Economic Development, King County, and the Workforce Development Council
for Seattle and King County to identify resources for the company.
