Nickelsville SoDo
An unused piece of city land at 6th Avenue South has been earmarked for Nickelsville SoDo. Nickelsville hopes to move the 12 tiny houses, tents, and security shacks currently at the Dearborn site to SoDo. The new site has easy access to transportation and convenience stores, plus it’s flat and roomy. We’ll continue to shelter adults, families, and pets at Nickelsville SoDo.
