Underground bunker that housed ballistic missile for sale in Washington
This story was originally published on A unique property is for sale in rural Lincoln County, Washington. Doomsday lovers, or those who want an underground vibe, can now purchase a Cold War missile silo, The Seattle Times reported Tuesday. The 12,946 square foot Atlas E missile silo is listed on Zillow for $1,450,000. The property was built in 1950 and encompasses a 24.15-acre lot. It has an 820 square foot living area, connected to a 3,794 square foot metal garage above ground and a 1,906 square foot living area below, Zillow stated. The bunker was part of the 567th Strategic Missile Squadron, attached to a missile base in Spokane and held an intercontinental ballistic missile, according to The Seattle Times. It can withstand a 1-megaton airburst from 1.6 miles away, the media outlet stated. The owner, David McIntyre, lived in the home for 30 years before it was put up for sale by his daughter, The Seattle Times noted. Also in Washington, a fallout shelter sits beneath I-5 in Seattle's Ravenna neighborhood. The shelter dates back to 1963 and was built during the construction of I-5 in the area beneath the southbound lanes of the freeway where it crosses Weedin Place, just east of Green Lake and just north of the University District, around 68th Street in North Seattle. The shelter interior isn't open to the public, but the entrance courtyard and the landscaped area around the shelter are easily accessible to casual visitors and Cold War history buffs. According to The Seattle Times, it is the nation's first shelter to be built into a freeway. Contributing: Feliks Banel Follow Julia Dallas on X. Read her stories here. Submit news tips here.

Green Mopeds was founded in London in 2017 to help customers find the best eco friendly electric two-wheelers for urban mobility and commuting LONDON, March 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) ('Zapp EV' or the 'Company'), owner of 'Zapp', the British electric vehicle brand on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today announced it has appointed Green Mopeds Ltd.

The Company also intends to replicate its cost-effective micro-factory in other regions with high demand for two-wheelers, including India, as additional resellers are appointed, and demand grows. David McIntyre, Chief Operating Officer of Zapp EV, said: 'Appointing Green Mopeds to be the first authorised reseller for our award-winning i300 is fitting as a British brand and another significant achievement for our team. Like Zapp, Green Mopeds has a long history on two wheels and shares a common goal to improve urban mobility while going 100% electric.

Zapp EV Received European Certification for i300
Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) ('Zapp EV' or the 'Company'), owner of Zapp, the British electric vehicle brand on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today announced it has received the required certificate from the National Standards Authority of Ireland confirming European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval ('ECWVTA') for the i300, the Company's high-performance electric urban motorcycle. Zapp EV can now deliver the i300 throughout the European Union ('EU'). The ECWVTA requires a comprehensive set of certification systems governing vehicle safety, production conformity, environmental protection and energy efficiency. ECWVTA certification is regarded as one of the highest standards in the world for vehicle quality and reliability, and several countries outside the EU have adopted the ECWVTA certification system as a reference standard in their domestic vehicle regulations, including India. Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zapp EV, said: 'Securing ECWVTA for i300 reflects our focus on the highest quality standard for Zapp's first electric urban motorcycle and further validates the i300's technologies, designs and production readiness. In addition to our rollout in Europe, this allows us to sell i300 in other countries that recognize EU certification, including importing up to 2,500 units per year to India from our Thailand reference micro-factory.' David McIntyre, Chief Operating Officer of Zapp EV, added: 'With this important milestone now achieved, we are activating long-standing plans to see i300 on the streets of Europe. We will start by converting existing reservations from customers. We also will begin appointing authorized resellers who have been patiently waiting with us on this journey, as well as developing our network of Zappers for delivery, service and after-sales support.'
