Your invitation to Bill Gates’ house might be lost in the (e)mail, so have a virtual look
I’ve never had the opportunity to visit the Medina mansion owned by Bill Gates. But as a journalist, I used to attend City Hall meetings in this suburb near Seattle and off Lake Washington.
I would drive in the area to the meetings. I knew he lived nearby.
Thanks to YouTube and a post on Nick Eaton’s Microsoft blog, I came across this virtual tour of his much-talked-about house.
If you live in the Seattle area, the virtual tour probably isn’t that interesting.
But if you live elsewhere, it’s noteworthy to see how the world’s tenth most powerful person, according to Forbes, had his home built.
