About Idaho

Boise sits in Idaho's Treasure Valley, and Micron Technology's headquarters there means the semiconductor industry has deep roots in a state most people don't associate with chips at all. Boise State anchors the schools, and Hewlett-Packard's early inkjet printing operations were based there too, well before the current software and venture wave.
