"A neat story and a testament of the Ballard spirit. I really feel the city is missing an opportunity to honor the legacy and spirit of this house. They could easily upkeep and turn it into a time capsule of the neighborhood."
"Just a crumbled building owned by a stubborn lady that wanted to keep it at any cost. Too bad she didn't take it to the grave with her and opened the path to progress. If you like to waste time,go take a look"
"Swinging by this place will envoke some feelings especially if you know the story a bit. There is no access to the house but the fence remains in protection for the public and the structure."
"Bittersweet story to this one of a kind home. The movie “Up” was inspired by this home a story!"
"A free and fun stop in Seattle, Washington. Apparently this was the house that inspired the Pixar animated movie Up. It's pretty easy to find and in an interesting neighborhood. It's also not too far from the Freemont Bridge Troll (both are free). I went on a Tuesday afternoon...and no one was there (I'm not sure if or when it's busy). I wouldn't travel to Seattle just to see this...but if you are there it's a must stop...almost sacred in nature...but definitely a cool sight to see. I left my purple hair tie on the fence as a remembrance."
