With less than 2 weeks now till Admiral Safeway shuts down August 21 for almost a year of construction, we’ve been looking at some of the side notes – including what happens to the BECU ATM (here’s our story from last Thursday) and pre-demolition recycling from the 42nd/Lander house on the site (here’s that story, also from Thursday). Tonight – followups on both!

BECU ATM CLOSING EARLIER THAN REPORTED: BECU’s Todd Pietzsch first told us the store’s existing ATM (there are plans to add one outside the new store) would stay open till the August 21st closing day, but he says there’s been a change: It is scheduled to be shut down “midday on the 19th” – so if you use that machine frequently, take note.

HOUSE RECYCLING – THE FINAL TALLY: James Klicpera, acquisitions manager at Earthwise and West Seattle resident, sent us some followup details today about the fate of what his company has removed from the 84-year-old 42nd/Lander house:

Earthwise was very fortunate to get the opportunity to salvage reusable materials from the project…..as forward-thinking as Seattle is in general, it is all too often the case that many of our older structures do not get salvaged. In this case, 3.75 tons of re-usable building material were removed as part of the salvage effort last week. 4,975 pounds of brick were removed with an additional 2,570 pounds removed from the interior/exterior combined. Of particular note, the original (c. 1926) entry columns, front door and eyebrow windows from the South (front) facade were removed. Many of the fireplace tiles (which one reader commented on) were saved as well….they are somewhat rare (Batchelder tile of California) and extremely difficult to remove intact. We hope that all the salvaged materials find a new, local home.

Thanks again to the WSB’ers whose questions sparked both of the above stories – multiple commenters for asking about BECU’s plans, and Forest for spotting signs of activity at the 42nd/Lander site. We’re thrilled to hear from you (options here) any time!
