VIDEO: Time lapse video of demolition of the Spruce Motel
The City of Tukwila is in the process of demolishing four motels on Tukwila International Boulevard, and on Feb. 24 the Spruce Motel, located at 14442 Pacific Hwy S., bit the dust: [youtube width="500" height="344"]https://youtu.be/WrWcBY8JVQY[/youtube] Reports are that these motels were all so crime-ridden that they were seized by the federal government, then boarded up in 2013.
