Norfolk Hotel: the update

       Finally, it appears that the title of ownership of the property(s) of the old Norfolk Hotel has been completed.  Work has begun after all these years of bankruptcy, partnership issues, lender disagreements, and plain old stupidity.  The clean up has been diligent:  trash has been removed and an orderly appearance has taken the place of a trashed and disheveled look.
     Several of the cottages have been cleaned up: doors secured, windows boarded over, locks installed, and old mattresses removed to the land fill in T.C.  Apparently, the new owners are well known in the area, and while their ultimate plans for the property are unknown at this time, it seems they are willing to make a significant investment in the future of the site.  Rumor has it that the owners also own two recently sold motels in Tahoma.  And, it seems they are also interested in the lakefront property "Cedars Lodge" across Highway 89.   Wouldn't be the first time a well heeled buyer came in and took over.
     Mr. Tahoma, Mr. Mariani, is still going strong and is not vulnerable to any offers on the plaza.
     Enjoy the new look on Pine St. and smile as work progresses.  The roof is off and the ice and water shield underlayment is in place.   The log cabin has been pressure washed and it looks good.
Be Happy.
