Yes. For I long time I thought Microsoft is based in Seattle, which is not correct (Redmond) but not completely wrong either

Redmond is at least a suburb of Seattle. It’s not an entirely different city an hour and a half away like Everett.

But I do find it weird that nobody claims that Apple, Google, and Facebook are all based in SF.

I think you may be overestimating the distances here. It is 35 mins from downtown Seattle to the Boeing facility in Everett and 25 mins to Redmond.

Everett isn’t in Seattle, but considering it part of the metro area isn’t a stretch. You never leave dense burbs between the two.

Used to be that Silicon Valley - Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Milpitas, etc. - was distinctly different from San Francisco.

Actually, it's weird to see headquarters in SF being called in SV ...
