CEO Ken Fisher says new office in Pacific Northwest offers employees better quality of life
After a year of construction, Fisher Investments opened its new Fisher Creek office, a five story state-of-the-art facility located on 170 acres in Camas, Washington. The building is approximately 150,000 square feet and will house over 600 employees.
Fisher Investments is one of several firms to move workers out of California. One of the things making Washington attractive to the $43-billion money management firm is no state income tax. CEO Ken Fisher told Bloomberg Businessweek these employees “get a better quality of life in Clark County than they would get in the Bay Area.”
In addition to the lack of state income taxes, Fisher’s employees get the double benefit of enjoying easy access to sales tax-free Oregon, just across the bridge. With construction on a second 600-person capacity building scheduled to be completed next year, more than one thousand Fisher Investments employees could soon enjoy all the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
Fisher Investments also recently completed another building on the same campus, which houses the firm’s printing and fulfillment operations. The facility includes new high-end printing equipment and exterior loading docks, which the firm will use to produce and distribute printed materials to its 25,000 clients.
The firm plans to maintain its Woodside and San Mateo, California offices where its roots are, and many employees still work.
