The old Paragon hotel, as reported in February, is now in the process of being demolished. This 208-room hotel, which was built in 1969, has gone through many transitions in it’s time, previously known by other names such as the Thunderbird, Red Lion, and Double Tree.
The Seattle Times posted this video showing the progress of the demolition at the site Monday:
Once completing the 4-week demolition at the site, room will be made for additions to a new Interstate 405 overpass across the freeway, built at NE 10th. The overpass is expected to open in 2009.
I can’t wait for the 10th overpass to finish, walking to the hospital and all those doctors will be so much better.
