Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Marceau & Associates removed the pipework they wanted in early February. We(Puget Sound Pipe Organs) began to remove remaining pipework and equipment in late February, but work was interrupted. ... When we returned today (3/20/12) to assess what was needed to finish, we found several additional ranks were no longer on site.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The congregation dwindled and was unable to sustain the building. The property was sold to a fundamentalist church called Mars Hill. The pipework is to be removed by Marceau & Associates of Seattle sometime in January or February. Unknown if the windchests, expression shutters, regulators, console etc. will be removed and saved, or junked.

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a rebuild and enlargement of an existing 1909 Kimball organ that had originally been built for the University of Washington, and which had been transplanted and electrified by Kimball rep. Arthur D. Longmore in 1938. The organ was augmented by adding another used Kimball of undocumented provenance. A new 3-man. B and V console was provided. The organ is a rather "bare bones" instrument. The Great has an 8' O.D., a Twelfth, a Fifteenth, and a Tromba - but NO 4' Octave!
