Does Seattle Like National Chains? Plus, Why Downtown Isn’t Dead After All

Today, Jane C. Hu is back, and she’s talking about the latest business news in Seattle. Joining her are Alex Halverson of the Seattle Times and regular contributor Marcus Harrison Green. They discuss the latest developments for Anduril, the very-real-but-fantasy named weapons company based here in Seattle that is expanding its footprint to Bellevue. They also talk about the news that DocuSign is staying in Seattle, and perhaps that downtown Seattle is going to remain attractive to local businesses and their employees who value good transit, nightlife, and all the pluses of a big city. The trio also discuss whether Seattle likes national chains and the give-and-take between employers and what they owe the city. Finally, they discuss their favorite spots to watch the World Cup.
