fdm, thanks, that is good information. That helps to explain what is happening in Silicon Valley. I know here in SF that south of Market has a lot of buildings with vacancy signs. They were old buildings that were made into offices for the dot.bomb companies. It will be a confirmation of recovery when we see higher office space occupancy and higher factory utilization. Meanwhile, we may even see rental rates come down at some point.

Just east of Seattle, in Bellevue. The vacancy rate rate has hovered around 30% for over a year. That does not even take into account the four huge plots of ground where projects sit uncompleted. Who knows what will happen with those.

I believe that in the city itself, the average is around 24%. But in some neighborhoods where new projects are completed, vacancy is up around 40%.
