High Technology in Oregon
Both were relatively isolated (although the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry and the Oregon Graduate Institute did try to help fill the gap) until the mid-1970s when Intel built its first chip fabrication plant (or Fab) in Oregon at Aloha, between Beaverton and Hillsboro. Both Tektronix and Intel gave rise to a series of spin-offs that included Floating Point Systems, Mentor Graphics, and Sequent.
