The JCC building has been demolished
To make way for the Wood Partner’s mixed-use development, one thing had to happen. The JCC had to be demolished. Residents and businesses were made aware of Exxel Pacific’s schedule last week. So, in the hopes of documenting construction of Wedgwood’s first mixed-use building and Wood Partner’s first project in Washington State, I thought I’d try something slightly different.
