A resident spotted the fire around 5:30 a.m. on the exterior of the building at the corner of Sixth Street and Avenue A, Snohomish Police Chief John Tuner said. When firefighters arrived, the fire had been doused by a resident using a garden hose, Snohomish Deputy Fire Chief Ron Simmons said. No one was hurt, and the small blaze caused about $1,000 damage, Turner said. "The fire is clearly, without question, suspicious," he said. Snohomish police, Snohomish fire and the Snohomish County Fire Marshal's Office are investigating. READER COMMENTS Be the first to comment.
