Artists bought a Seattle building for $20. Now they'll transform it
Update: 2025-12-09
Description
A non-profit arts organization is celebrating the best Seattle real estate deal in years. Common Area Maintenance purchased an abandoned Belltown building – the El Rey for 20 bucks. The plan is to transform the building into a gallery and event space, and provide affordable housing for artists. We talk about the project with CAM's executive director Timothy Firth.
