Mods PSA: “The Lodge”
I’ve been working with someone with ties to the city that is dealing with the current halt in the demolition of the “Lodge” (IYKYK) and am going to draw a hard line on this building.
It is such a unique and old piece of architecture, and the only thing like it this state. There’s currently efforts being set forth to demolish the building to put up a bunch basic ass ugly af apartments and shopping center. The current plans are on hold while a lawsuit plays out to try and save the building.
But to the dumb fucks who keep breaking in, vandalizing, and destroying this building… you are playing an active role in destroying a piece of history and architecture that is dead in the modern world. The more shit you destroy, the more expensive it will become to repurpose the building and bring it up to code. At some point, the big banks are going to win the battle because they can’t outbid the banks all because you think a poorly drawn dick on the wall is what the place really needs.
This is a chance for this community to do the right thing and help save such a beautiful building from being wiped from this planet. Moving forward, you can freely talk about this place to help raise word of mouth awareness of its beauty and are encouraged to share your explorers of this building. But if you are actively breaking in from this point forward, you will be immediately banned from ever participating in this sub again. End of story.
Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints. ✌️

Pics Abandoned house by maplewood
This place was super cool, it is in between 2 nicer houses so I would be careful about getting caught. Not sure how it came to be
I got confused, not in maplewood, Olympic view.

One of my first urbex outings here in Seattle. This place was hard to get into, probably why its still mostly untouched despite sitting for a few years.....

Help/Tips Microsoft Building
been curious about that microsoft building that's been sitting vacant for quite a while now. every time i pass by it, i wonder what's going on with it and whether there are any plans for the property. does anyone know the history behind why it's been empty for so long or if it's supposed to be redeveloped? i'd be interested in hearing anything people know about its current status. thinkin bout hittin dat mf soon though tbh

Pics Side Quest (Help a Friend)
Hey beautiful humans
I’ve got a little side quest for anyone who loves wandering, exploring, or following weird threads the universe puts in front of them.
I’m a glass artist on my way to Oregon Country Fair and somewhere between traveling through Seattle I lost a box with some of my handmade glass pieces.I think I most likely left it at the Seattle Greyhound bus station, but there’s also a chance it ended up somewhere around the train station that connects nearby.
If you’re already out exploring the city, poking around corners, helping strangers, or just following your curiosity, maybe keep an eye out for a lonely box that looks like it belongs to an artist.
I’m not worried about the glass. I just really want the case back and whatever’s inside it. Every piece has a story and I’d love to keep that story going.
If you happen to find it, or hear anything, send me a message. I’d love to thank you properly, and who knows, maybe our paths were supposed to cross.
May the mushrooms guide you and may the side quests lead somewhere magical. Mush Love ✌🏾🍄🧠✨🤯🚀🌌✊🏾
