Big ideas lead to tiny house project at Spokane’s Community School

Linklater, who graduated last week, took the message to heart after transferring from Lewis and Clark High School midway through his freshman year.

“It wasn’t happening for me at LC, but here I can make a connection in the community and make a difference for the community,” said Linklater, whose 210-square-foot creation is the product of his own ambition and imagination.

Cost was mitigated by his parents, who paid for most of the materials. Other items were obtained at wholesale from friends who are contractors.

Linklater did the rest, learning how to weld and frame. The interior is unfinished, but give him time.

Linklater will live in the dorms this fall at Western Washington University but plans to complete his creation and move it to Bellingham in time to live in it during the fall of 2019.
