The carpet was deliberately set on fire at 9:54 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 26, in a second-floor unit of a Magnolia apartment building in the 2600 block of Thorndyke Ave. W., according to Seattle Fire Department spokesperson Helen Fitzpatrick. Estimated damage was around $1,000, she said.
None of the other apartments in the 24-unit building was affected by the fire, but the resident from the burned apartment was taken to Haborview Medical Center for treatment of smoke inhalation, Fitzpatrick said.[[In-content Ad]]
