MOUNTLAKE TERRACE – Police caught up with two teens suspected of torching outdoor furniture outside an apartment building after the teens sent video of the incident to their friends.
The boys, 15 and 17, were arrested Thursday. Police say the boys jumped a fence surrounding a pool area and shot off flares. The flares sparked a fire that burned up some furniture, Mountlake Terrace Sgt. Doug Hansen said.
“Then they bragged to their friends about it,” he said.
The teens took video of the fire using their cell phones and sent the video to friends, Hansen said.
They could face felony charges, including arson and burglary.

Marysville woman presumed drowned
CRESCENT BAR, Grant County – A standout high school soccer player and a Marysville woman who tried to save him after he fell from her boat into the Columbia River are missing and presumed drowned, Grant County authorities said.
The victims are identified as Vicki Lynn Lervick, 46, of Marysville and Jose Abraham Flores Torres, 22, of Quincy, sheriff’s Deputy John Turley said.
Search-and-rescue personnel from Grant and Douglas counties, aided by a Washington State Patrol aircraft, were unable to find the bodies.
Torres, who could not swim, apparently panicked after falling from the back of the boat, and Lervick dove into the water after three men on the boat were unable to pull him back onboard, Turley said.
