In which city is Pinterest's headquarters?

Pinterest's headquarters are in San Francisco, California. The company was founded in 2009 by Ben Silbermann, Paul Sciarra, and Evan Sharp, and its corporate base has remained associated with San Francisco as Pinterest grew into a major internet company.

Pinterest was originally based in Palo Alto before moving its headquarters to San Francisco in 2012. That history can cause confusion because both cities are important parts of the company's early Silicon Valley story. Seattle is also sometimes linked with Pinterest because the company opened an engineering office there, but Seattle is not its headquarters.

The San Francisco headquarters reflects Pinterest's roots in the Bay Area technology ecosystem. The company operates internationally, but its headquarters answer refers to the location of its central corporate office, not the city where a particular engineering, sales, or regional team works.
