West Seattle businesses: Tango Card to open HQ in The Junction

A gift-card/tech company is opening its first-ever headquarters in West Seattle – home to its founder. Tango Card tells WSB it’s just signed a one-year lease for office space in the Huling-owned building on 40th SW north of SW Edmunds, on the east edge of The Junction. Tango Card is “a startup that’s innovating in the gift card space. Our primary goal is to redefine how enterprise customers incorporate digital goods into gift card and loyalty programs. The Tango Card itself is the ‘get exactly what you want’ card where you choose the amount and then the recipient chooses their gift card, donates to charity, or splits the amount between options,” explains marketing director Kelly Scott, adding, “Several of the company’s 20 employees live in West Seattle, including our CEO and Founder David Leeds, and the team is excited to have local office space.” Till now, she says, Tango Card has done some work out of ActivSpace in Luna Park, “but mostly a lot of working from home and whatnot.” She says they’ll be moving in before the month’s out.

A tech company in West Seattle? Hallelujah and to whom do I send my resume? : ) I’ve got GC experience and live six blocks away! I hope this is the beginning of a tech mini boom in WS.

Love it. I have followed Tango Card for a few years now. It is a great company with wonderful leadership, so what better place to be than West Seattle. Go Tango!!!

Yes Ajax, wouldn’t it be great to see office space rather than apartments and condos all of the new construction? Many, many West Seattle-ties would give up the commute in a heartbeat.

Sorry, comment time is over.
