20,000 Microsofties flocking to Safeco Field Friday
The city of Seattle is warning of congestion in downtown Seattle Friday, when as many as 20,000 Microsoft employees pour into Safeco Field for the Redmond software giant’s annual staff meeting.
The event is from 10 a.m to 4 p.m., so the city of Seattle Department of Transportation says expect heavy congestion in the morning and afternoon.
The city is anticipating about 20 busses and 4,000 cars to begin arriving at 8:30 a.m and departing between 3:30 and 5 p.m. Friday.
