TEXTS. KEEP THEM COMING.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOME TWEETS
AND THIS ONE WAS FROM THE PAUL
G ALLEN FOUNDATION.
THERE ARE NO LIMITS TO WHAT WE
CAN ACHIEVE.
CAN ACHIEVE. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SHARING
THOUGHTS.
THOUGHTS.
THOUGHTS. LET ME TRY -- WE SEE THE GAMUT,
WE HAVE TWEETS FROM GOVERNOR
JAY INSLEE TO JUST REGULAR
FOLKS.
FOLKS.
FOLKS. PAUL ALLEN STANDS AS A GIANT
FOR THE GENIUS VISION THAT WAS
SO IMPORTANT TO CREATING
MICROSOFT WITH BILL GATES.
THAT HE WENT ON TO DO SO MUCH
MORE FOR OUR STATE, NATION IN
THE WORLD PUTS THEM IN RAREFIED
COMPANY.
COMPANY.
COMPANY. I WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS, LOOK
AT THAT ONE.
IT'S GREAT.
IT'S GREAT. HOW OLD IS THAT?
THAT'S THE WAY BACK MACHINE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TWEETS AND
COMMENTS.
COMMENTS.
COMMENTS. KEEP THEM COMING AND WE WILL
SHARE THEM THROUGHOUT THE
SHOW.>>> BUT LET'S GET BACK TO
ANGELA AND CHRIS, WE WERE
TALKING WITH CHRIS DANIELS AND
LORI MATSUKAWA ABOUT HOW THIS
CAME DOWN TODAY.
>> IT'S INTERESTING TO COME OUT
OF THAT AND SEE HE WAS 22 WHEN
THEY STARTED MICROSOFT.
HE QUICKLY BECAME ONE OF THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL --
>> THEY TALK ABOUT HIS
BRILLIANCE HE HAD A PERFECT SAT
AND WENT TO WASHINGTON STATE
UNIVERSITY AND HE WAS THE ONE
THAT CONVINCED BILL GATES TO
DROP OUT OF HARVARD SO THEY
COULD WORK TOGETHER ON
COMPUTERS.
COMPUTERS. THAT BECAME THEIR PROJECT,
MICROSOFT.>> THERE ARE SO MANY
AVENUES.
AVENUES.
AVENUES. >> THE IDEA THAT THEY COULD'VE
SET UP SHOP IN NEW MEXICO OR
SANTA FE AND THEY DECIDED ON
THE EAST SIDE.
I DON'T THINK WE GET AMAZON IF
WE DIDN'T HAVE MICROSOFT FIRST
AND THE TECH KNOWLEDGE, THE
SUPPORT THAT MOVED INTO THIS
MARKET THAT DIDN'T EXIST
BEFORE.
BEFORE.
BEFORE. THE PEOPLE WOULD NOT HAVE MOVED
HERE IF IT WASN'T FOR PAUL
ALLEN AND BILL GATES AND I
THINK HE CONTINUED TO TALK
ABOUT SOUTH LAKE UNION AND THE
LANDSCAPE CHANGED.
LANDSCAPE CHANGED. HE WANTED TO BUILD A PARK AND
INSTEAD WE HAVE HIGH-RISES.
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY AND PAUL
ALLEN'S LEGACY.
ALLEN'S LEGACY. I THINK WHAT YOU'VE SEEN IN THE
LAST 15 YEARS AS WE'VE SHOWN
YOU THE DOTS ON THE SCREEN OF
THE IMPACT THAT PAUL ALLEN HAS
QUITE LITERALLY HAD ON THE
LANDSCAPE.
LANDSCAPE. I THINK YOU LAST 15 TO 20 YEARS
HE USED SOME OF THE MONEY HE
MADE ON THESE OTHER ENDEAVORS
ON THE PHILANTHROPY.
YOU JUST HEARD BILL HILF
WHETHER IT BE TRYING TO SAVE
ENDANGERED SPECIES IN AFRICA OR
SOME OF THE WORK HE DID LOOKING
FOR VESSELS IN THE OCEAN.
HE WAS REALLY TRYING TO USE
THAT MONEY, THAT WEALTH THAT
WAS MADE OFF OF THE OTHER
ENTERPRISES IN SEATTLE TO GO
AND DO BETTER IN THE WORLD.
>> SPREAD THE WEALTH, I WAS
INTERESTED IN HIS COMMENTS
ABOUT HOW HE WANTED TO TAKE
CARE OF HIS OWN BACKYARD.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK I
APPRECIATE MOST ABOUT PAUL
ALLEN.
ALLEN.
ALLEN. HE
ALLEN. HE DID INVEST IN THE EXPERIENCE
MUSIC PROJECT WHICH BECAME
MOPOP AND HE DID BUILD THE
ALLEN LIBRARY AT THE CAMPUS OF
UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON
BECAUSE HIS DAD WAS A LIBRARIAN
AT UW.
AT UW.
AT UW. >>
AT UW. >> HE WAS A COUGAR.
>> HE SPENT MONEY ON WASHINGTON
STATE AS WELL.
>> HE BUILT COMPUTER SCIENCE
BUILDING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
WASHINGTON BECAUSE HE KNEW
EDUCATION WAS IMPORTANT,
PROVIDING SPACE FOR FUTURE
ENGINEERS WAS IMPORTANT TO HIM.
>> CINERAMA TOO>> THE LIST GOES
ON.
ON.
ON. PEOPLE ARE POINTING TO THE
SEAHAWKS IMMEDIATELY I THINK
PEOPLE HAVE FORGOTTEN WHAT
HAPPENED IN THE MID 90s.
THEY HAD MOVED WITH CAN BURY
AND PAUL ALLEN FUNDED THE
INITIATIVE FOR THE STADIUM WE
HAVE CENTURYLINK FIELD AND HE
DELIVERED THE ONLY SUPER BOWL
CHAMPIONSHIP IN SEATTLE HISTORY
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN POSTING
THE PICTURE OF HIM HOISTING THE
SUPER BOWL TROPHY HE IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR SAVING FOOTBALL
IN SEATTLE AND FOR SAVING
BASKETBALL IN PORTLAND.>> THE
SOCCER TEAM RIGHT?
>> WHEN HE HAS SO MANY THINGS
YOU COULD POINT TO THAT OR
MARQUIS FRANCHISES ARE
COMPANIES THAT HE'S RESPONSIBLE
FOR OR THINGS THAT WOULD BE THE
TOP OF YOUR RESUME IF YOU
JUSTIN -- MENTIONED, HE HAS
RESEARCH VESSELS.
RESEARCH VESSELS. YOU TALK ABOUT THE USS UP
ANNAPOLIS IT WAS GONE FROM
WORLD WAR II.
PRESERVING IT FOR HISTORY AND
TO HONOR THE FAMILIES AND SAY
WE FOUND THEM.
>> THE PRESS CONFERENCE THE CEO
SAID HE'S NOT DONE.
THE FACT THAT THERE IS A PLAN
IN PLACE AND HE SAID IF YOU
MISSED IT, THERE'S A PLAN AND
WE WILL RALLY TOGETHER TO MAKE
SURE WE SEE THE VISION THROUGH.
>> HE VERY MUCH LOVED AND
CHERISHED HIS FAMILY.
HE WAS CLOSE TO HIS SISTER AND
HE HAD HIS MOM LIVE ON HIS
FAMILY COMPOUND ON MERCER
