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.
