North Seattle Arson

A Pinehurst neighbor just passed along a rather disturbing story of an arson in the area this morning. It’s a tiny bit out of the neighborhood (Meadowbrook/Lake City) but still much too close for comfort.

This is a very good reminder of the importance of getting to know your neighbors, keeping out eye out for each other, and reporting anything suspicious.

Firefighters responded to the blaze, in the 11700 block of 36th Avenue NE, at about 4:50 a.m. after receiving a 911 call.

When crews arrived, they found smoke and flames billowing from the house, said Batallion Chief Jay Schreckengost of the Seattle Fire Department.

After the fire was extinguished, police determined that the blaze had been purposefully set, and an arson investigation was launched.
