“Kirkland, WA – Still recovering from the news that a Microsoft
employee has moved to their block, the residents of Boulder Creek
subdivision are faced with even more surprising news: Gerald Kwon,
Microsoft employee, is actually a nice guy.”
“There was a concerted effort to prevent Mr. Kwon from moving
into the neighborhood. After losing the battle some residents are
thinking of reconciliation. Others are still seething. “Just
because I led the campaign to prevent Microsoft employees from
moving into the neighborhood, doesn’t mean that I have a problem
with them. Some of my best friends are Microsoft employees,” said
block captain Fred Cho. “I just think that certain standards need
to be upheld within the neighborhood, and those people [Microsoft
employees] have a habit of ignoring standards.”
“Mr. Kwon has been very happy with his new neighbors despite
some unsettling incidents. “I’ve had a couple of burning penguins
left in my front yard, and someone keeps distributing pamphlets
that say ‘Do you know there’s a Microsoft employee in your
neighborhood? Watch out!’ Other than that it’s been pretty
nice.”
