In July of 2005, Seattle's Waterfront trolley operation was still going strong but its days were numbered. Seems that Paul Allen and some of the other insufficently taxed residents of the area wanted to build a rock sculpture garden on the site of the carbarn. The streetcar would shut down later that year and has yet to get a new barn or resume operation. The rebuilding of the freeway helped drive the spikes into the coffin. The five ex-Melbourne W2's are stored in a city warehouse, their fate still undecided.
