Just outside of the Seattle metropolitan area sits historic Fall City, Washington with its sprawling luxury estates, historical homes and rural farmsteads. The latest settlers to this quaint suburban community are digital natives living and working near the tech industry giants of the Northwest--Microsoft, Nintendo of America, and other IT darlings.

Ironically, land use development has skipped over the Fall City area (for a number of reasons) making it a prime place to host a technology based recovery center. Across the highway one can receive WiMax (Clearwire--an over the air Internet service), but not on this side of the highway. In addition, the large expansive properties make it difficult to "steal" bandwith from neighbors as the connection is too weak for users to connect. All things to consider when helping technology users moderate their use.

 

Redmond, Washington is home to Microsoft, Digipen, and Nintendo of America.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

--Henry David Throeau, Walden, "Where I lived, and What I Lived For"
