All the tech companies have flocked there and while there is a ton of residential included there, which has done very well, the surrounding communities have seen prices skyrocket as many want more traditional neighborhoods/homes without a long commute. 

@Aaron Luker The Planet Money podcast is consistently outstanding.Another very worthwhile podcast that's not quite personal finance but has a lot of useful insight into what's happening with tech is from Andreesen-Horowitz, and there's often clear implications for the wider economy (and various sectors like real estate). 

While I don't believe the technology is there quite yet, I predict that in the next 50 years the tech will be there to live in space.Among the growing problems on Earth, climate change, population explosion, and international policy, life might not be sustainable for humans.

Absolutely, I am considering other areas outside of Seattle because of the whole city vs. large tech conflict (i.e. head tax).

I stayed in the tech sector while investing for decades.

One morning, while having breakfast with a friend and the owner of a successful mortgage brokerage firm, he told me he had just invested all of his retirement account money and his children’s entire college fund into the tech stocks that were doubling about every week.

Do more tech savvy homes sell faster?

I work full time in the tech industry and have been able to work myself into saving roughly $1250 a month that has been burning a hole in my pocket these past couple months.

Husband is in tech.

State capitol and burgeoning tech sector there.
