SEATTLE — One of Seattle’s oldest landmarks faces demolition.
The Wayne Apartment Building has stood in Belltown for 130 years, making it one of the oldest buildings in the Pacific Northwest.
The city of Seattle approved the demolition on Feb. 11, although the deadline to appeal the decision is Thursday.
The building, which built between 1889 and 1891, is one of the last examples of a rowhouse, according to Steve Hall, SEPA representative for the Friends of Historic Belltown.
