4:14 PM: Turned out to be an “exterior fire, (put) out by occupant,” firefighters just told dispatch, so they’re canceling most of the response.

    Thank goodness it is not a major house fire! I heard all the sirens and worried.  Thank you for the update!

    I hope everyone is okay but I cant help but think, I hope that slumlord got exposed for how crappy the condition of that property is.

    Gosh darn didn’t think those buildings were still there, thought they would have been bulldozed bulldozed down and apartments or houses built on the lot. Great 😊 everyone safe and not hurt

      I remember going to those apartments back in the late 70’s to visit a friend and as you still amazed they’re still standing.

    Super shout out for all the passersby that stopped what they were doing to call it in and bang on doors to get folks to safety. I was on my way home from work, saw the smoke, and there were already lots of folks out of their cars rushing to help. Still lots of great people in West Seattle!

Sorry, comment time is over.
