Yesterday (Feb 16th, 2023) at approximately 4:30 P.M., Shoreline, Seattle, Bothell, and Snohomish County fire units responded to an apartment fire at the Lakemore Estates apartment complex in Kenmore at NE 193rd and 61st Ave NE.
According to Shoreline Fire Public Information Officer, Michelle Pidduck, the fire was quickly contained to a single apartment and quickly extinguished. A few residents and a dog were treated at the scene for smoke inhalation but no one was hospitalized. The Red Cross helped find temporary housing for a family of five, 2 adults and 3 children. The cause wasn't immediately available.

Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 50 and low of 46 degrees. Don't forget your umbrella! Fog during the morning, mist in the afternoon, overcast during the evening, mist overnight.
The fire chiefs' taxes paid explanation is correct. He does leave out the Medic One (EMS) levy. What is in error is his claim that the RFA will reduce next year's taxes. The RFA does nothing to reduce taxes.
Is there really such a disparity between the present financial conditions of Shoreline Fire and Northshore Fire? If so, vote No.
