No, it's a new local business weekly, covering the area east of Seattle and Lake Washington -- Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and such. This is where the bulk of the high-tech growth is in the greater Seattle area -- MSFT, of course, but hundreds of other software companies, more and more biotech, and biomedical equipment, coupled with the Craig McCaw-spawned telecommunications stuff. An incredibly entrepreneurial region, with all the Silicon Valley VC boys and law firms setting up there. BTW, ICOS's annual meeting is May 6 in Seattle. Rathmann continues to amaze me by the sheer pipeline he has developed in the past four years -- the details of which are outlined on the company website. I predict he will have another huge success at ICOS, just like he did at Amgen. Given the complexity of biotech and the resultant odds against biotech startups, the equivalent of two "Super Bowl wins" will make Rathmann a truly legendary figure in the history of biotech. He is the stellar biotech entrepreneur/research manager of our time. Anyway, he's sure made me some money in the past two years, and the best is yet to come.
