The unused shaft was hidden by sheetrock at a Virginia Mason Medical parking garage in Seattle. It was there in case additional elevators were ever needed. A woman in her sixties, driving a Subaru Forester, found that shaft Monday afternoon when she failed to back out of a handicapped space on P3 and went forward instead. Suddenly she was on P4 and presented a challange for the Seattle Fire Department to free her and eventually her vehicle from the shaft. A fire department spokesperson says the woman was not hurt.
