You’ve heard of the woman who lived in this house, haven’t you? Here’s the lead to the story in the Seattle P-I:
Edith Macefield died at home, just the way she wanted.
The Ballard (Wash.) woman who captured hearts and admirers around the world when she stubbornly turned down $1 million to sell her home to make way for a commercial development died Sunday of pancreatic cancer. She was 86.
No one knows exactly what will happen to the house now. She left no heirs.

That reminds me of an old Bugs Bunny cartoon when Bugs won’t move from his hole and they have to build the freeway around it.
