I'm not sure what conclusions you think we should draw from that. California's advantage over Washington is primarily one of size - Washington's GDP per capita is actually about 3% higher than California's. The most generous interpretation I can think of is that you're crediting the non-compete difference for California's far larger population, which is tenuous at best. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Shockley -> Fairchild -> Intel, AMD couldn't have happened with non-compete. So Silicon Valley couldn't have happened in Washington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traitorous_eight Per capita isn't a good measure here, as Washington's weather helps lower the denominator (I say this as a former Seattle resident) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
