Ten Steps
to a High Tech Future:
The New Economy in Metropolitan Seattle — December
2000
Since the mid-1990s, Seattle has been one
of the rare cities to have a level of high tech job growth comparable
to its surrounding region. This paper seeks to understand the
location pattern of high tech firms in the Seattle metropolitan
region and to learn what factors influence their location decisions
within the region itself. Drawing on the Seattle example, the
paper describes ten steps that city officials interested in facilitating
the development of a high technology presence can take, from investing
in human capital, to streamlining public services, to applying
information technology in the public sector

Institution's web site.

Pioneer
Human Services Case Study — January 2000
This report is a 105-page case study of
an entrepreneurial non-profit organization providing employment
training and other services to people leaving prison via work
release programs. The report describes Pioneer's organization
and programs, and provides information on criminal recidivism
and employment outcomes for a sample of trainees. Findings from
focus groups with current and former trainees provide additional
perspectives on what makes the Pioneer experience a successful
transition back to the community for many trainees. The report
concludes with recommendations for other non-profits who may wish
to emulate the Pioneer model.
