VIDEOS/PHOTOS: A building complex on Railroad Avenue Southeast, a busy main road in downtown Snoqualmie, caught fire Sunday morning at about 5:15 a.m.
The building is home to Snoqualmie Ice Cream, Chickadee Bakeshop, Snoqualmie Pie Company and Littlest Wishes Photography, leaders of the City of Snoqualmie said. All four businesses were impacted, but most of the damage was left on the backside of the building along Falls Avenue Southeast.
No one was inside the building at the time of the fire, city officials added.
Snoqualmie police officer Corey Hendricks first smelled the smoke Sunday morning at about 5:07 a.m., the city shared. He quickly searched for the fire, which possibly saved the lives of nearby families and businesses, a couple of business owners said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
