The Wietzel House has been a familiar landmark on 180th in Tukwila.
It is headed to a new home at Seward Park.
The house movers will be taking advantage of the fact that we have the railroad trestle removed from Rainier Avenue, as it would not have been able to clear otherwise.
At the most exciting part of the journey, the house will be moved down the taxiway at Renton Airport, until it reaches the lake. At that point it will be transferred to a barge, which will transport it the final mile or so to its new home in the Seward Park neighborhood. The trip through Renton airport will be from 5:30 to 7:30 tomorrow morning, and will shutdown the airport for this two hours.
The Home’s journey is being documented for a network television special by National Geographic. Their crew will track it with photo and video cameras all night long.
