A four-story apartment complex is burning just north of Maple Leaf at 15th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 117th Street.
Numerous fire trucks are on the scene. The building is being evacuated at 11:15 a.m. News helicopters are overhead.
Our news partner The Seattle Times is following the breaking story here.
The fire reportedly started as a motorcycle fire that spread to cars in the building’s parking garage, said Fire Departrment spokesman Kyle Moore.
weird that someone from a neighboring community is reading another community’s blog, even weirder that he/she spends time making minor editorial comments on it. lol
Classy answer, editor, to a rather rude comment from Pinehurster. Media usually refers to all these neighborhoods as “North Seattle”, maybe this is why.
The neighborhood north of you has a name: Pinehurst. Please use it.
Editor: OK. Victory Heights.
Not withstanding that Pinehurst Way Northeast runs through it, the city believes the fire was on the wrong side of 15th Avenue Northeast to be Pinehurst. The city is often dunderheaded about this.
Fire trucks still there and street closed at 3pm
Editor: no humans harmed, at least one dog (Lily) rescued and one cat resuscitated by firefighters.
