DomainTools Shows Off Fresh Office in Seattle
Whois firm holds open house to show off fresh office.
Seattle is one of my favorite cities. So when I heard that DomainTools was holding an open house Monday to show off its fresh office in Seattle, I knew I had to make the stopover en route to TRAFFIC in Vancouver.
DomainTools didn’t need a moving truck to get to its fresh offices; they are directly upstairs from the old digs. But it’s a big improvement. The former radio studio downstairs in the two story building wasn’t designed just for the firm. Upstairs is a different story: a nice, open working space in the center, surrounded by a game room, kitchen, and offices and meeting rooms on the sides.
DomainTools’ Tim Chen stated that the team did a lot of the work, such as wiring, by itself. That makes sense given that 13 of the firm’s 15 employees are technical.
Regarding 60-70 people came to the open house, counting a number of DomainTools’ clients, employees, and advisors. Google’s Matt Cutts, who is in town for the SMX search engine conference, stopped by as well.

Spinning logos were cool on web pages in the mid-90s. Now they’re only cool if they’re real spinning logos, like this one designed by DT VP Susan Prosser’s dad.
