The owners of the Edith Macefield House<\/a> in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle accepted OPAL’s proposal to save the house and move it to Orcas.<\/p>\nThis is a unique opportunity for OPAL to provide another permanently affordable home for Orcas Island, while preserving a much-adored building with a unique history. The house has had widespread media attention, including stories in The Seattle Times, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, NPR, CBS Evening News and others. When Disney\/Pixar released the movie UP!, they did a promotional photo shoot<\/a> of Edith’s house. As a result, many people have come to call this Seattle’s UP! House.<\/p>\nOur Crowdfunding Campaign Must Succeed<\/h3>\n
Now we need to complete\u00a0 a successful crowdfunding campaign. We have launched the campaign to raise money to buy the lot, get the permits and move the house on an ocean-going barge. Our belief is that many people have come to love this house, and will support a campaign to save it. Anyone may donate<\/a>.<\/p>\nWe hope the donors to this campaign will be people who want to see Edith Macefield’s house saved. If you know someone who cares about this house, its story, or what it represents, would you please let us know?<\/em> We would like to invite as many people as possible to contribute to make it happen.<\/p>\nWe need many helpers to lift Edith’s house. If you help us find donors at the $100 or greater level, they will get five balloons and a thank you note to express our gratitude for their help. Click here to send us an email<\/a> telling us who you think may want to help.<\/p>\nIf you are as captivated by the house and its story as we are, you might enjoy these links:
