2.1 On-site attendance

The meeting will be held in the Pilchuck room of Building 40, on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, WA. Building 40 is part of a two-building complex (buildings 40 and 41) located on the west side of 156th Avenue NE, between NE Turing Street and NE 31st Street.

Parking: There is a parking garage adjacent to Building 40. To access the garage, enter the 40/41 complex from NE 31st Street, or from the south-bound lane of 156th Avenue NE. The south end of the garage will be closer to Building 40. Inside the garage, visitor spots will be located near the entrances to the garage. Vehicles need to be registered at the lobby — the receptionist will ask for plate number, make, model, color, and year of the vehicle.

4. Hotels and local public transit

The meeting venue is located very close to Extended Stay America and the Element or Aloft hotels — about 5-minutes walk.

Here are some nearby hotel options, all within a 10-minute drive:

There are King County Metro bus stops very close to Building 40 on routes 221, 245, 249 and 269. These are east-side routes but each has stops with connections to other parts of the region, including downtown Seattle, University of Washington and SeaTac airport.

Sound Transit also has bus routes to/from downtown Seattle (542, 545, 550, 554) and to/from SeaTac airport (560) with stops not far from Building 40 or with connections to the King County Metro bus routes mentioned above.

Sound Transit has opened a light rail line between Bellevue and Redmond Technology Center (Microsoft campuses). (Note: the light rail line does not yet connect to downtown Redmond, Seattle or SeaTac airport.) The Overlake Village station is a four-minute walk from Building 40.
