What game studios are based in the greater Seattle area?

By this I mean not necessarily the corporate headquarters or publishing office but the actual development offices. This would definitely include the east side (eg: Bellevue, Redmond).

If anyone has any interesting anecdotes or links of that kind about these studios I would be interested in those as well.

I am mostly just curious and thus far my google-fu on the subject has been weak. So do I appeal to the all-knowing hive mind.

A lot of the companies working with microsoft are based in Rebmond, this includes Bungie, makers of Halo.

Valve is in Bellevue. Nintendo is in Redmond. Monolith is in Kirkland. Popcap in Seattle. I'm sure there's a ton more.

We're also the #1 Video Gaming city!

Game developers, by location. It's a pretty thorough list.
