Iconic ‘Up’ house in Seattle will continue to stand

The iconic “Up” house in Seattle will not be demolished after all.

The Edith Macefield house has stood in Seattle since the turn of the 20th century and has been targeted for demolition for at least a decade.

But now, thanks to a nonprofit group, the house will remain standing but will be relocated.

According to broker Paul Thomas, more details about the relocation will be released next week.

“The house really will float away, but not by air,” Thomas said in a press release. “I can’t possibly imagine a more wonderful ending for this chapter of the Edith Macefield story.”
