Alphabet Inc.’s Google is building a new campus near Seattle, increasing its presence in a region that is home to Amazon.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp.
Google bought a 10-acre plot close to its existing campus in Kirkland, Washington, and plans to use it to expand in the area, according to a memo sent to employees earlier this week that was seen by Bloomberg. Business Insider reported earlier on Friday that the company had bought an old car dealership in the area, citing property records. In July, Google paid $40 million for another piece of land nearby.
