The big dig, Seattle style

Xerox has its legendary PARC labs. Now Microsoft has its famous parking lot.
Work has just begun on a massive underground parking garage at Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters, a structure that should alleviate current parking headaches on the corporate campus.
The buzz around this low-tech project at the high-tech giant's headquarters is growing locally since a television news crew went out to gawk at the hole in the earth. While hardly comparable to Boston's big dig project, the local news at least seems ready to add this one to the record books. One report called this the second largest underground garage in the western hemisphere, but Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos said he had no idea where that factoid came from and couldn't confirm it.
