Registry for hundreds of top level domains returns to its original building.
Top level domain name registry Donuts has returned to its former home in Bellevue, Washington.
The company had been located down the street in Kirkland, Washington, where Rightside was located. Donuts acquired Rightside in 2017 and left its original office in Bellevue to use the Rightside office. Now the company has returned to its former building in Bellevue.
For a couple of years, Donuts, Tucows and GoDaddy all had offices within steps of each other of the shores of Lake Washington in Kirkland. Tucows’ office is in the same building that Donuts occupied after Tucows acquired the Enom business from Rightside. GoDaddy’s is right down the street.
GoDaddy recently hired Aman Bhutani, who currently resides in Seattle, as its new CEO. It will be interesting to see if it expands its operations in the Seattle area.
Of course, the biggest headquarters change announcement in the area is that Domain Name Wire is now based in the region.

I have only heard good things about the company.
Logan says
Of course, Domain Name Wire only moved there after it promised to build a $1 billion headquarters and bring in 150 white collar jobs paying $100,000+ per year in exchange for the city giving it billions in tax breaks!

Yo, are you liking the nice weather now?? Don’t forget to have coffee with the “potheads” in downtown and take a pee behind the building.
Yup, pretty soon your company will be as big as Amazon, Starbucks and Microsoft.
Domain Name Wire HQ is on the waterfront!!! with the super yacht parked close by.
Oh yea…”BullS” HQ is on the waterfront too, overlooking the Puget Sound .

That is downtown seattle you get that, Bellevue is an amazing place, very clean, and so it should be, some of the richest people live 10-15 minutes in the neighboring town of Medina, many CEO’s live up on Clyde Hill also. Pacific Northwest is a very majestic place, mountains, water, and great tech minds.
