THE SEATTLE TIMES, SEATTLE, WA - Several businesses at a Lake City strip mall were destroyed in a quick-moving blaze Monday night that has since been ruled an arson. A man called 911 shortly before 11 p.m. and reported that several people had broken into businesses in a shopping center near the intersection of 30th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 127th Street, according to Seattle police. As the witness was still on the line with a dispatcher, he watched the people leave in a vehicle and said the business they had burglarized was on fire, says an item posted on the Seattle Police Department's online blotter. The fire was well involved when the first Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews arrived, and heavy smoke was pouring from a small void space connecting all the businesses in between the ceiling and the roof, according to a post on the department's blog.  Visit The Seattle Times for more on this story.
