ABOUT INTEL WASHINGTON

Intel has had a major presence in Washington since 1996 and currently operates research and development facilities in Pierce and King Counties. Engineers at the DuPont Development Center, south of Tacoma, focus on integration and testing of powerful and efficient technology platforms for business. They also develop diagnostic tools that are used in testing various components and computer systems. Intel Labs Seattle, near the University of Washington, lets our engineers explore technologies of the future.
