The house-rescuing/moving firm Nickel Bros saved a West Seattle house from demolition on Saturday Jan 20. The site where it once was will be the site of SolTerra’s residential development called Perch.

The 55-year-old house located at 1262 Alki Ave SW was trucked off site around just after 12:30am   traveling  along Alki Ave SW and ending up at the Don Armeni Boat Ramp where a barge was set up and the house was loaded onto it around 5am.

Nickel Bros said that the house will be going to a new owner located in British Columbia, Canada.

Nickel Bros said the developer asked them to try to find new owners for other houses at the project site too.
