The news came a few months ago that Facebook was opening a Seattle office! Wow! How awesome! The site with more than 500 million users to land in the Jet City/Emerald City/Rainy City! Then the news came that Facebook Seattle had found space near Seattle’s iconic Pike Place Market! Wow! Wait! Smashing Ideas is near the market! Finally we began watching the building across the alley – one of the floors was being painted, cleaned and we’re almost positive readied for Facebook. They moved in last week but today is the first day the blinds are up. We’re trying to be neighborly and say “Hi” but thinking our approach might be too stalkerish (banging on the window with signs that say “Hi Facebook”). We’re also pretty sure they’re going to close those blinds for good now. Maybe taking them a homemade pie is the better approach? What do you think? We hope they read our blog – as we know so many people out there do! We’d love to say hello Facebook Seattle (maybe an invite to next week’s open house?). Since Smashing Ideas is all about designing and innovating for the kid’s space we’ll close our note with: “Won’t you please, won’t you please, please won’t you be my neighbor?”

P.S. We’re testing out Facebook Places
