Tri-Cities Tech Business Update
Tri-Cities use PNNL report as recruiting tool
The Tri-Cities ranks better than anyplace else in Washington, except Seattle, in some key areas used to measure its attractiveness to technology-based companies and skilled technical workers. But then it trumps the Seattle area for some of the factors that add to quality of life, such as a low cost of living, a low crime rate and sunny skies. That's according to Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's (PNNL) new Tri-Cities Index of Innovation and Technology. The just-released report is the first it has compiled since one was released in 2004. The report is a recruiting tool for PNNL, helping show world-renowned scientists that the Tri-Cities is a viable place to build a career. Read the report.
