I was looking up some info on a site for a project I'm working on and thought some of you might want to see Bill Gate's house. I drive over the bridge and sometimes glance over at the roof sticking out of the trees.
King County (where Seattle is) has a program called iMAP they use and you can browse around the county with it.
iMAP Look for the "To Start iMAP click here" in the middle right, broadband required BTW.
To find his house, look here:
Look for the RED DOT that the red arrow points to. Use the zoom functions to zoom in enough, and then on the right side you can turn on/off map layers including aerial photos.
You're looking for the large parcel (5.15 acres) on the east side of Lake Washington about 1/2 mile south of the SR-520 bridge. It's tax lot # 9208900079 and the neighborhood is called Medina, aka red tape from hell.
The server for this is a little slow, but there's a fair amount of information. You can hit the gray "Property Search" button on the left too and put in the tax lot # and find out what Bill's assesed value is.
