Police are looking for a person of interest in multiple West Seattle fires.
In one of the incidents, two cars were set on fire about 4:45 a.m. Sunday in the 2700 block of Southwest Sylvan Heights. Both vehicles were parked on the street and had significant fire damage before flames were extinguished.
“In a separate incident about 24 hours later, officers and firefighters responded to a fire in an entryway of a commercial building in the 6500 block of 35 Ave SW around 3:30 AM Monday,” Officer Lauren Lovanhill said in a statement. “The fire caused exterior damage to the lower level of the building as well interior damage as the flames passed through a broken window.
“SPD arson detectives are investigating the two incidents, but say they have not found anything connecting the cases. Police do not currently believe Monday’s fire on 35th Ave SW was set with the intent of targeting any of the tenants of three offices on the property.”
On Wednesday, police offered a $10,000 reward for information about the fires. All occurred between 2:30 and 4:45 a.m. in the High Point neighborhood.
