Following in the steps of other major retailers Best Buy is forming a technology center in one of the major technology hubs in the United States. Rather than the San Francisco area like Target and Walmart they've chosen Seattle.

Here is the Seattle Times with the full blog entry:

Here is a snippet from that piece:
Best Buy today said it would open a technology development center in South Lake Union, taking the top floor of the Seattle Times Building. Set to begin operations in late spring, the office will employ more than 50 engineers, product managers, web architects and developers in the next year and is expected to expand to more than 100 e-commerce professionals over time.
Over at eTail West we have news of a Target exec coining the phrase 'Brick & Mobile' rather than 'Brick & Mortar'. That certainly points to the growing power of mobile, and technology, in the modern retail space. I'll have a blog entry on that shortly.
Happy Reading,
