Airbnb is headed to Portland and Creating 160 Jobs When They Get Here!

Airbnb is planning to open here in Portland creating 160 jobs when they do. What is Airbnb you ask?
Well according to the Bizjounrnal "Airbnb is the fast-growing company that connects travelers looking for a place to stay with people with extra room. Founded in 2008, Airbnb has more than 1,300 employees, according to its Crunchbase profile."
The article goes on to tell us that "Thetus Corp. announced it is heading into 40,000 square feet at the historic U.S. National Bank Block. San Francisco newcomer Airbnb is taking Thetus’ old office to establish a North American operations headquarters. Airbnb will take the roughly 20,000 square feet that Thetus is leaving at 34 N.W. 1st Ave. The office will be one of 12 global offices for Airbnb and will be one of the biggest outposts for the company with a planned 160 employees, said Molly Turner, director of public policy for Airbnb."

That means 160 new jobs for Portland and hopefully, an increase in visitors. To read the entire article please click on the Link/Picture below!
