More news from KIRO 7

Northgate Way was closed for hours while firefighters doused the flames.

A Washington State Department of Transportation camera along Interstate 5 showed smoke and the glow of the fire in the distance.

The Seattle Fire Department said crews poured water on the fire from outside the building because it was unsafe to go inside.

Just before 6 a.m., Seattle Fire said the blaze was out.
