    Why do they need the “Way”? Do they know the way? Why not just 1 Apple Park?

    To Apple employees resisting any move to the new address, "it's Apple Park Way or the Highway."

    Since both Way and Park are USPS recognized street suffixes, I'm guessing that someone(s) at Apple deliberately wanted to use the Way street suffix.

    I'm not surprised based on Steve Jobs's interest in Eastern philosophy. "The Way" is most commonly identified with Taoism, but is also associated with various Japanese religious philosophies, including Buddhist and Shinto beliefs.

    I doubt that we will ever know the true motivations behind the street naming decision though so this is all silly, relatively meaningless speculation.

    Silly, meaningless speculation or not, your statements sound, to me, like Jobs.

    Steve is long dead now. And Westerners have been aware of Eastern philosophies long before Steve Jobs.

    He wasn't the only one in the SF Bay Area who had understanding/appreciation of Eastern philosophical concepts.

    Sure, but I can easily see the street name being conceived early on, so I'd be more surprised to find out that the name wasn't from Jobs than I would be that it was.
