    There was an overflow into Seattle.  There was an existing talent pool, and costs were competitive for small companies compared to the bay area.  The 80's and 90's supported a pool of about 150 electrical engineers in the Seattle Area serving small companies.  I am one of them.  I stopped the video to comprehend the VU tube meter circuit shown in the textbook.

    Then things went overseas. 

    Microsoft became a big player at the end.

    If they heyday of Silicon Valley was like the Cambrian Era, then Microsoft and others who moved things to China constitute a Permian Extinction.
