We've been working on a fun project -- a Seattle tech tourism guide, spotlighting locations of current and historical interest in the region's technology community. In addition to some places you might expect, we've found some previously undiscovered gems, and we're excited to roll out the first version. Watch for details in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, we could use some help. We're looking for some good locations in the region to represent the dot-com boom and bust.
It's not as easy as you might think. The former FreeInternet.com building in Federal Way is not all that exciting, and it's a geographic outlier. The longstanding MyLackey.com billboard in Seattle (pictured above) is no longer there. The Speakeasy Cafe, a pioneering Internet cafe, would have been a great place to include in the guide, but it was hit by a fire in 2001 and the building has since been torn down.
Any other ideas? Drop us an email or post a comment below. Feel free also to suggest locations representing other eras of technology.
