Social game maker Zynga has picked Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square to open its local office.
John Cook at GeekWire reports that Zynga is creating an engineering center in the Washington Shoe Building in Pioneer Square.
In October, Zynga, the company behind hit social games such as FarmVille and Mafia Wars, started recruiting in Seattle for technical talent. The expansion in Seattle gives Zynga a foothold in one of the nation’s casual-gaming strongholds.
Zynga is recruiting in Seattle with companies such as PopCap Games, Big Fish Games, Microsoft, RealNetworks, and WildTangent.
Zynga is among a host of companies including Facebook and Hulu that have expand operations to the Seattle region. That has created intense competition for talent among tech companies big and small.
In March, Zynga hired Neil Roseman, the former Amazon.com vice president of engineering and former Evri CEO, to run the new Seattle office.
