Lynnwood: Trailer fire may have been arson
Investigators believe someone might have intentionally set fire to a trailer at a mobile home park in Lynnwood on Monday afternoon, Snohomish County Fire District 1 spokeswoman Leslie Hynes said.
Nobody was injured when the fire in the 15300 block of 35th Avenue W. about 5:15 p.m. destroyed a trailer at the Hayloft RV Park, Hynes said.
Witnesses reported seeing a vehicle leaving the area just before the fire started, Hynes said. The fire is under investigation by the Snohomish County fire marshal.
The two people who lived in the trailer were offered assistance from the Snohomish County American Red Cross, Hynes said.
The trailer is an estimated $25,000 loss, she said.
Startup: Customers need to boil water
Startup Water District customers are being asked to boil their water until later this week to protect against bacteria contamination.
People who use the Startup water system should boil all water for three to five minutes. This includes water used for drinking, brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice and similar purposes.
A line break along U.S. 2 on Sunday caused a loss of water pressure in the system, which opens the potential for bacteria to enter the water lines.
Bacteria can cause short-term symptoms such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea and headaches.
To check on the status of the boil-water advisory, call the Startup Water District at 360-793-1833.
