Here is some good news for the cabin located at 1855 Market Street. I’m sure you’ve driven by and seen the new building sign and wondered what will happen to the cabin? Loita Hawkinson, from the Kirkland Heritage Society, commented that the City is about to issue the moving and building permit to move the cabin. Loita says, “The property has changed hands and it will be replaced by two new homes. Other parties have been working tirelessly it seems to get the cabin saved and they have found someone who has the space and interest to save this wonderful building. It will be on private property and not be a home since it cannot be a primary residence due to zoning. So the kitchen will be removed but the bathroom can stay….maybe a perfect spot for a cookie exchange.”
Update: City of Kirkland press release on “Log Cabin Move Planned for Early Morning Hours April 28“.
