Which Site gets closed first? In 2012?
My guess would be Seattle due to the more drastic cuts in October, and ASF has such a great track record in New Drug Discovery...

Ummm....what has come out of SF?? Nothing from the Tularik purchase comes to mind.
Doesn't matter who produces what
SK is in ASF, he will keep his cronies around until .......
AWA is but a fart in the wind.
Probably easier to get buyers for the South San Francisco site

It is interesting to note that they own the AWA site. The ASF site is leased.
It is also interesting to note that RP has never been to AWA, despite maintaining a residence in nearby Bellevue. He does have an office there -- other people swap using it Maybe he's been there and no one has seen him. Still, it's odd.
Another strike against AWA: they were originally slated for big expansion. Now, except for programs which support ongoing deals/programs, they are entirely gutted. Once those programs move down the pipe there will be no reason to maintain AWA.
The (non)closure of AWA might have more to do with real estate than science. That's a sweet site, but real estate is depressed in Seattle right now.

ASF has way to many strange apples in the basket, they creap out ATO

Too bad none of it is left at AWAIt won't be Seattle, there is triple the brainpower in Seattle vs. ATO, despite the massive difference in headcount.

ASF was a mistake, easy to close and forget.
