I live and work in Spokane, Washington, USA. Recently, I’ve been dreaming of having a SFPUG (Spokane Flash Platform User Group); but after trying hard to hire some good Flash developers for my current employer (DigiDeal), I was convinced that all of the good Flash developers in my somewhat-smaller-city were already working with me…

And then, out of nowhere, in steps a company I had previously never even heard of, Seven2 Interactive. They’re a Spokane based outfit that has done some very nice work for some pretty big namers, such as Nintendo, MTV, Cingular, etc. I met up  with the two founders today, Tyler & Nick, over sushi. It seems like these guys are as cool as their company’s work is. The inside of Seven2′s office was very stylish–they even had three conference rooms named Rock, Paper, & Scissors–rad. Cool facility, cool view, and even a cool game room. It’s good to see impressive Flash & design work coming from Spokane.

My dream for having a SFPUG has been renewed. Anyone else in the area that’s interested? Drop me a comment…
