It’s in an unassuming brutalist building in industrial Georgetown. I sense they like keeping a low profile because it gives them more time to tinker. A really unique experience with some rare equipment, a lot of it you can still use. Wonderful volunteers, highly recommended!

Unassuming is an understatement. I lived immediately adjacent a few years ago and had no idea it existed until now.

Looking at street view, there's a sign on the south side, but walking on that street is terrible so I always crossed the north side, which is completely featureless.

most legacy telco COs are unassuming brutalist buildings... there's easily a dozen similar to it in the metro Seattle area but unless you work in the industry or have a reason to know where they are, most people don't pay attention to them at all.
