Microsoft Supports Belltown Condo Market?
I was walking my dog this morning and noticed a number of MSFT employees congregating on the corner of First and Wall. Apparently, Microsoft is now offering a regular shuttle service from First/Wall in Belltown (and other Seattle locations) to the tech giant's Redmond campus!
This is great news for Belltown condo owners / MSFT employees. In fact, this is literally on the same block as the lucky folks at Belltown Court.
Here's the official release from MSFT.
Something about the graphics on that bus really makes me laugh. So much so that it's now my desktop wallpaper. Great find!
I suspect this is more about Microsoft copying Google then supporting us yuppies in Belltown.

Since when did Googe invent buses? Microsoft has been innovating long before Google came up with their commodity search engine.

Most corporate campuses of MSFT's size have been shuttling employees in for years.
Commodity search engine? lol
That's ironic to hear on this site, as Wendy's blog is the most search engine optimized Seattle condo site I've seen. She's also got the best AdWords condo campaign around. I would bet 85% of seattlecondoreview.com traffic comes from that commodity search engine.

that may be true today but people who count msft out - esp 1 trick ponies like goog - do so at their peril. If you bothered to try live search, you'd see what i mean. Lemming,
