Back in September 2017, when Amazon first announced its "HQ2" site selection contest, I predicted it would end up selecting the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area: "if I had to predict or bet, I'd suspect that the company winds up choosing Washington, D.C., Virginia, or Maryland.," I wrote then.
The official announcement hasn't yet been made, at least as of this writing, but there sure seems to be a lot of press around the idea that Amazon has indeed chosen Washington's Northern Virginia suburb of Crystal City as one of its HQ2 sites, with Long Island City, Queens, New York, also getting some jobs.
We certainly don't always get these calls right around here, and in general we are less in the predicting business than in the explaining business (please go back to the original post for our explanation of our reasoning). But when we do get one right, or at least it looks like we do, it is satisfying.
