MARYSVILLE — Carelessly discarded cigarettes were blamed for a fire Thursday night that displaced a family and caused $65,000 damage.
The fire ripped through a garage just after 5 p.m. in the 9500 block of 66th Drive NE, Marysville Fire District spokeswoman Kristen Thornstenson said.
Firefighters quickly contained the blaze to the garage but smoke damage made the home uninhabitable for now, she said.
Three people had to find someplace else to spend the night.
