RIP Edith Macefield

Edith Macefield died on Sunday.

I wrote about Edith back in February. She was quite the talk of Ballard, as she was offered a million dollars for her house and she turned it down. Instead, they've been building the Trader Joe's around her.

She has no living family, so no one is sure what will happen to the house. Rumor has it, she left it to the senior construction superintendent. He had been checking in on her and even taking her to doctor's appointments during the construction.

Edith was 86 years old. And died in her house.
Just like she wanted.

Cheers to you, Edith. You go, girl.

Oooooh I loved hearing about Edith keeping her house. I'm glad she went the way she wanted to.

I hope that whoever gets her house keeps the structure the way it is and keeps the condo vampires at bay.
