As for location type, Seattle's tech is very concentrated on the urban core aside from Microsoft, which is densifying its main campus (which has a 60% SOV commute rate) and has some towers in Downtown Bellevue. Otherwise everyone either has a mix of urban/suburban (Facebook is the big one, Google and Tableau are others), or is all urban (Apple, Indeed, Adobe, Oracle, Expedia, Zillow).

Nobody outside of San Francisco seems to notice, but Salesforce.com, which is not a household name because it sells to business mainly, not consumers, is in the process of snapping up much of the office space that becomes available in downtown SF.
Having leased all of SF's new tallest building (now known as the Salesforce Tower) and leased entire buildings on 2 of the other 4 corners of the same interesection, they have recently entered into an agreement to lease a new 800 ft tower in development on the opposite side (but also connected to) the Salesforce (formerly TransBay) Transit Center.

When finished, buildings 1 and 4 will be Salesforce offices.
