September 6, 2007
SEATTLE - Redmond-based Microsoft says it will open three new work locations in Seattle and increase employment in the city to 1,400 workers.
The company announced it's leasing space in the south Lake Union area, Pioneer Square and near Qwest Field.
The largest is the south Lake Union space where more than 400 employees will work, and the company is creating what it calls "touchdown space" for employees to avoid rush-hour traffic to conduct meetings.
To help with the traffic, Microsoft says it will launch free bus service Sept. 24 for employees. Called the "Connector" it will run five routes in Seattle, Issaquah, Mill Creek, Sammamish and Bothell. The Wi-Fi enabled buses will carry up to 1,000 employees a day.
