Zillow offices

Scoble, Zillow has the nicest real estate in Web 2.0 industry:

Anyway, they have the nicest offices in the Web 2.0 world that I’ve seen so far. They are in the Wells Fargo building in downtown Seattle on the 46′th floor and have stunning views that wrap around all sides of the building.

They arranged each of their areas into “cul de sacs” around a window display.

I interviewed at Zillow at the beginning of the summer and they definitely have some sweet digs. Their view undoubtly beats ours :).
