A recycling dumpster next to the 7-11 store at 2429 Harbor Ave SW threw large flames up the side of the building around 8:20pm on Wednesday night. Crews found the fire fully ablaze when they arrived and quickly doused it but in light of a recent string of dumpster fires in Belltown that were declared arson, Seattle Police said they are looking for a suspect.
The flames damaged the exterior of the building and siding will need to be replaced but no damage estimate was immediately available.
The fire was dealt with quickly but not before it damaged the siding on the store. Photo by David Rosen
