New Seattle, p. 58

"Many entrances lead to the Underground's maze of tunnels,
basements and chamgers. The only safe ones ... the basement of the
old Seattle Utilities Building, inside the Big Rhino Restaurant, and
in the basement of Lordstrung's Department Store on 5th and Pine."

I'd say it's heavy GM discretion. You might be able to dig up
more passageways listed in novels and adventures, but as Paul points
out, there's no way for anyone to really know whether it's a known
entrance or a secret entrance.
