The Seattle Fire Department said no injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is unknown and under investigation.

Several roads around the fire and West Seattle Bridge were closed. Both directions of Highway 99 were temporarily shut down.

Firefighters had the fire out just before 9 p.m. but remained on scene for any hot spots.

A KIRO 7 reporter said she could hear explosions at the warehouse.
