Neat. We were actually in the OGI science park. (We were the "CADRE" sign people would see, as they turned left into the park off Walker Rd., IIRC, with the wildflower field on the other side of the Walker. Earlier, the sign might've been "MicroCASE" or "NWIS". And originally a Tektronix spinoff, to build high-end in-circuit emulator hardware with workstation frontends, which evolved to include integrated full-lifecycle CASE.)

Also in the OGI science park was Verdix (makers of Ada development tools, and some kind of multilevel-secure workstation software).

I don't know what all the other companies were. But amenities included private showers for biking to work, a small forest jogging trail, and a restaurant that made nice turkey sandwiches and huge blueberry muffins to replenish those calories.

I remember microcase - not too much at this point, but I remember the sign.

the ISP was founded by a mixture of ex-intel and ex-ogi telecom, so there was always a bit of closeness there.

eventually, at the OSDL, we had a Fred Meyer across the street, and not much else. but damnit, we had a great raised floor datacenter!
