Update: Fire callout in North Delridge

“Fire in single-family residence” callout in the 3800 block of Delridge (map) – right by The Bridge – WSB team member en route to check it out. 2:51 PM UPDATE: Small fire, “handled before (fire crews arrived),” according to firefighters on the scene, who are already packing up to pull out (they later told us it involved transients and smoking – the house is apparently vacant).

    What’s the deal with this house – does anyone know? I only assume this is the little red house at the very end of 23rd ave SW at Delridge.

    I live up the street on 23rd, and this house has been vacant for at least 6 years since I’ve been here. Clearly it’s uninhabitable. And even if it were habitable, it’s RIGHT NEXT TO THE ONRAMP.

    I’ve only ever seen transient activity on this lot. I wish it would be torn down and made into a pea patch or something.

    It is – we have a photo we should probably add, though the fire crews rolled away so fast they’re not even in the picture. We’ll have to check the DPD files on this and see if anything is pending.

    Absentee property owner who lives in West Seattle needs to retake high school civics or go back to kindergarten to learn some basics on how to be a responsible adult. The site is a constant problem with dumping and illegal entry, and our tax dollars are spent sending out DPD inspectors to deal with it. I wonder if the owner is holding out for some future purchase by SDOT or WSDOT for an expansion of the Delridge Way-to-West Seattle Bridge on-ramp?

Sorry, comment time is over.
