Apple has reportedly opened its first Seattle office.
An Apple rep confirmed to The Seattle Times that the company has opened an engineering office in the city, though the rep declined to give further details. The report states that the office will be staffed by former engineers from F5 Networks and Union Bay Networks who are working on network infrastructure. The report points out that leading cloud services were "largely built in Seattle."
Citing LinkedIn data, GeekWire reports that about 30 engineers are working in Apple's new Seattle office.
Seven of Union Bay's nine employees are now Apple employees, according to the report. Apple reps could not be reached for further comment.
