Historic Tukwila Farmhouse On Trek To Seattle



RENTON, Wash. —

Crews moving a 1908 Victorian farmhouse from Tukwila to Seattle loaded the home onto a barge in Renton early Friday morning for a trek to its destination near the entrance of Seward Park.

According to a Web site set up by Nickel Bros. House Moving, Tawny Davis and her husband Ian rescued the historic Wietzel House, which stood for nearly a century on South 180th Street near the Kent/Renton railway bridge in the Kent Valley.

Chopper 7 video early Friday morning showed the home -- lighted inside and out for a National Geographic Channel program -- on board a barge in Renton, having made a 5-mile trip from Tukwila to Kent to Renton and through the Renton Airport.

The delivery to Seattle is expected just after midnight early Saturday morning.
