December, 2002 In it's previous life, the Satsop Development Park in Elma, Washington, was a debt-addled nuclear power plant that never split so much as an atom. Today, companies with extreme data and communications needs, like SafeHarbor Technology and Qinetiq-TIM, rely on Satsop's triple-redundant, 72-strand fiber-optic network, housed in the plant's earthquake-proof security building. If you're looking for an unfurnished, hermetically sealed office space with 5-foot-thick concrete walls, the two reactors and containment buildings are available. Sadly, plans to turn one of the water-cooling towers into the world's largest climbing wall have stalled. "We haven't heard from REI," says Tami Garrow, CEO of the development group, "but hope springs eternal." — Micah Abrams |
