Seattle Skate
Homeowners Sally Vongsathorn and Jeff Warner are moving a turn-of-the-century, arts-and-crafts-style house from downtown Seattle to the remote San Juan Islands. To do that, the house will have to be lowered off a 20-foot cliff, cross Seattle's third-busiest intersection in the dark and then be loaded onto a barge to sail 60 miles to the island, where it will be off-loaded in the dead of night. Knowing it's a very dangerous and difficult move the couple worries that their dream house might not get there in one piece. House mover Jeremy Nickel calls this the "Super Bowl" of all house moves.
