Hoquiam Hotel Is Now In The Hands Of Court-Appointed Receiver

Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property.

The Daily World reports the lender behind the Anchor Pointe Inn and Suites on Simpson Avenue went to court, and a Bellevue company took control of the property October 23rd.

Everyone staying there had to be out by October 30th. The receiver can now sell the property.
