Virginia is For Lovers, and quite possibly Amazon. Over at The New York Times, Karen Weise reported Thursday that “the growing consensus is that the place that checks the most boxes is Northern Virginia” — including a more favorable tax structure and building requirements, especially compared to neighboring D.C. And the place that could win Amazon HQ2 is a spot called Crystal City, Va., located just south of Washington D.C. across the Potomac River. The former headquarters of U.S. Airways, Wikipedia notes that Crystal City was “mostly composed of industrial sites, junkyards, and low-rent motels.” Sounds a bit like South Lake Union, before it was redeveloped by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and later became home to Amazon. As Weise notes, “Crystal City is about as close to Washington as possible while still being in Virginia” — located a few metro stops away from D.C. (For what it’s worth, here at GeekWire, we’ve been fluctuating between Toronto and Washington D.C. as our top picks, though former GeekWire HQ2 location of Pittsburgh is a fan favorite around our offices).
