Local News | Gates Foundation breaks ground on new headquarters | Seattle Times Newspaper: "The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation broke ground Tuesday on its new $500 million headquarters, which the world's largest charitable foundation hopes to occupy in late 2010.

The foundation's campus is a crosswalk away from the Seattle Center, and the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, Allen's collection of rock memorabilia and space-age literature and artifacts. Both are monuments to the astonishing wealth garnered by Gates and Allen, the co-founders of Microsoft Corp."
