You've also got to throw in the incentives; cheaper taxes, pizza parties, casual fridays (ok, the first one) that the local SC governments threw in that WA state would once again not budge on. Remember when BA said they would move the headquarters out of Seattle to Chicago unless they got less local taxes and better incentives? Well, they're eating some fine pizza in Chicago now.
