Anyone out there want to buy the old YWCA building downtown, across from the Ridpath?
Circle Dec. 3 and Dec. 4 on your calendars. Those are Spokane County's first delinquent-tax property auction, done entirely online instead of at the courthouse.
Our earlier story (last week) disclosed all the key details. The county is using a Maryland firm, Bid4Assets.com, to manage and run the online bidding.
BIdders need to register with Bid4Assets and verify a valid credit card.
Among the offerings is the once-busy YWCA building at the northwest corner of Stevens and First (shown in the Google Streetview image).
Today, it's vacant and looking for a good owner.
The full list of the properties to be auctioned can be found online here. Bidding price will start with the past-due taxes and fees, plus the $150 fee that the county must pay Bid4Assets. Anything above that reserve amount goes to the property owner.
