The Capitol Hill warehouse made world famous by a woman’s attempt to save it from demolition by marrying it just can’t catch a break. Not only did the wedding fail to save the structure from being torn down to build a new apartment building, but somebody broke into the site over last weekend and stripped $600 worth of “copper pipe, wiring and copper from transformers and electrical boxes” in the old building’s basement. The SPD report on the burglary is below.
Normally I wouldn’t sway this way but since the building is going to be demolished the thief might have saved the demo crew/developer/property owners some money by removing some of the property.
I’ll bet it was someone the building knew. Have the police talked to the building’s wife?
