BOTHELL -- Nastech Pharmaceuticals' plans to deliver drugs via nasal sprays could be snuffed out. Auditors at accounting firm KPMG warned investors they have serious doubts whether the biotech can survive. Nastech lost $52 million last year, after its erstwhile partner Procter & Gamble backed out of a drug development deal.
OLYMPIA -- The state Department of Agriculture has launched the Future of Farming project to investigate ways to help the state's farmers and ranchers stay profitable over the next 20 years. At stake is the economic viability of the state's $34 billion food and agriculture industry.
This comes at a time when crops like wheat, hay, asparagus and apples are already selling for prices well above historic norms, such as $14-a-bushel wheat in January. This raises questions as to whether the study is coming a bit late to take advantage of the current economic climate.
SEATTLE -- The executive leadership program at Seattle University's Albers School of Business has been named one of the 10 best training programs in social responsibility by Corporate Responsibility Officer magazine. Seattle U. was the only Northwest school named in the report, which also named the business schools at Harvard, Columbia, Duke and Stanford universities.
SEATTLE -- The Emerald City has been ranked in the top 10 U.S. markets for investment in commercial property, according to the Grubb & Ellis 2008 Real Estate Forecast, put out by the national brokerage firm. Seattle ranks 10th on the list of industrial markets and fifth on the list of office markets. Los Angeles and Houston top both lists.
