The fire affected eight units, two of which were “heavily damaged.” A total of 11 adults and three children were displaced from the damaged units.
While the source of the fire is still under investigation, it began in the carport of the apartment complex before spreading to the units. A vehicle in the carport sustained significant damage.
Lynnwood police tell KIRO Newsradio the Lynnwood Apartment fire is “suspicious” because it started in the carport.
