#1.6: Suzie Burke: The Land Baroness of Fremont

Suzie Burke has been given the title "Land Baroness of Fremont", as she owns over half of Fremont’s industrial commercial space. It’s because of her work that Fremont boasts some of the most powerful businesses in existence. Businesses like Google, Brooks, Adobe and Tableau just to name a few. 

The Seattle skyline has changed dramatically in the last decade. In this interview we’ll meet a big hearted, energetic, passionate and sometimes a bit pushy woman tell the story of how she single handedly changed the landscape in Fremont into the center of the universe. Acquiring this much land in Seattle doesn’t come without its challenges. Here Suzie unapologetically tells stories of her battles with competitors and Seattle governing authorities.
