UWT Continuing to Expand?

We received an email this weekend from a tipster that heard something about UWT “buying the entire block.”  He was near South 19th and Yakima at the time and there are three houses there that are pending sale (the last time we checked).  Is UWT expanding further up the hill?  Our understanding is that the school had no aspirations beyond Tacoma Avenue, so has something changed or are we hearing things?
