The City of Moses Lake is set to sell off units formerly used at the Open Doors Sleep Center from Oct. 14 to Oct. 17. The sale aims to repurpose the prebuilt gable-style sheds that have remained unused since the center closed June 30.
“We were just getting a lot of interest from community members, specifically like farmers and people with a lot of land looking to use them for chicken coops or water pump containers,” Elizabeth Murillo Busby, Housing and Grants Manager for the City of Moses Lake.
These units, available at a price range of $300 to $500 depending on their condition, have drawn interest from various community members. Residents seeking to purchase these units can view them from 7:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day during the viewing period.
