Fire caused more than $100,000 damage to an apartment north of Lynnwood early Thursday, May 1.
Neighbors reported smoke coming from a ground-floor unit in a three-story building at an apartment complex in the 2700 block of Lincoln Way at 5:30 a.m.
“The apartment was charged with smoke when firefighters arrived,” said Leslie Hynes, public information officer for Snohomish County Fire District 1.
Firefighters from Fire Districts 1 and 7, Lynnwood and Edmonds responded to the call and quickly brought the fire under control. There were no injuries.
The tenant was away on a trip at the time of the fire. His apartment was heavily damaged and is uninhabitable. It was unknown whether he has renter’s insurance.
The Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s office investigated the fire and determined the cause to be electrical.
