PORT ANGELES — It stood for about a century. Nobody knows its whole story.
A year ago, the state Department of Natural Resources pronounced the dilapidated, vacant building an eyesore and offered to sell it for $1 if the buyer would pay for its removal from the waterfront.
On Tuesday, the “Pink House,” a 800-square-foot former law office with peeling pink paint succumbed to the steel jaws of an excavator operated by Vision Builders of Port Angeles.
Bite by bite, dump truck load by dump truck load, the building on Railroad Avenue just west of the MV Coho terminal was demolished and hauled off.
“The bites are all taken, the building is gone,” said Jerry Nichols, co-owner of Coldwell Banker Uptown Realty.
“You won’t even know it was there unless you knew it was there before.”
