Roosevelt Townhouse Moving
Because the townhouses on their special "trailers" were taller than the space underneath the overhead utility lines, the lines were dropped down and placed between two ramps that Nickel Bros built. This way the truck and house could drive over them without damaging the cables or snagging strung cables.
For a while 15th was not fully closed off--SPD was directing traffic, and many passing by in their cars were rubbernecking at the site of a large house on the back of a truck.
Four townhouses are to be moved from 66th & 12th to 65th & 15th in order to make way for Sound Transit's Roosevelt Station as part of the Northgate Link Light Rail Extension. The first two were moved on August 4. The houses began moving at midnight and were at 15th Ave NE by 2am. By 6am, the houses were completely on their new lots and crews had gone home.
