Press release:

SeaTac Fire Investigators have released some additional information on an early morning apartment fire Tuesday in the 3000 block of S. 154 Street.

According to investigators, the second floor fire was intentionally set in multiple locations of the affected unit.

The single occupant that the apartment is registered to has not been located and was not home when firefighters arrived. The King County Sheriff’s department is now leading the investigation.

No one has seriously injured in the fire, though two residents were treated for smoke inhalation and one for a twisted ankle. All declined to be transported to a local hospital.

Only the apartment where the fire began is uninhabitable. All the other residents were returned to their homes once SeaTac firefighters confirmed that it was safe to do so.
