I just returned from Seattle, Washington and when I landed, the city was abuzz with the news that the United Arab Emirates had just ordered 200 planes from Boeing. When I left, the news was about Starbucks loosing about 1,000 executive positions. When a city has such diverse corporations, it is easy to see how bad news in one industry can be tempered by great news in another. Love Starbucks or hate them, it would be great to have a company like them headquartered in Milwaukee. There are still lots of good jobs at their headquarters and their building is beautiful site to see in a not so great part of Seattle.
