Thanks for the tip! Two weeks after the demolition permit was issued for small residential buildings at 1790 and 1794 Alki Avenue SW [map], circa 1910 and 1938, a backhoe has turned them into debris.
We last reported on the project proposed for this site in May 2024; it was going through the system at the time as a four-story, 12-unit building. County records show the parcels were sold four years ago for $2.3 million. City files, however, show the building permit hasn’t yet been issued.
