Angle Lake School Fire Ruled Arson
Author: admin21 Jun
As we reported on June 1st, a four-alarm fire destroyed the abandoned old Angle Lake School in SeaTac.
Now comes word that the fire’s origins, while a mystery for the last few weeks, was indeed arson, according to Chief Meyer of the SeaTac Fire Department.
Here’s a great Flickr slideshow of the blaze, taken by Photog “Cave Canem”:

The school building was constructed in the 1930s, and had been unoccupied (other than transients, who are suspected in the arson) since 2005.

Angle Lake School Fire Still A Mystery

SEATAC – The cause of a four-alarm blaze that destroyed the vacant Angle Lake School on Saturday won’t be known for two or three more days, said Terri-Ann Betancourt, a spokeswoman for the Port of Seattle, which owns the property.
A crane will be brought to the site early in the week to aid in the investigation.
The building, in the 19200 block of 28th Avenue South, erupted in flames shortly before 6 pm Saturday, requiring a massive response by local firefighters.
Crews from Tukwila, Burien, Kent, the Port of Seattle and King County Fire District 20 joined firefighters in SeaTac to battle the blaze.
The roof of the builiding collapsed about 30 minutes after the first units arrived.
The Port of Seattle bought the property a few years ago with plans to demolish the building and use the land for airport operations,” said Betancourt.
Neighbors say the building has been boarded up for several years.

A large plume of black smoke could be seen rising from the building.
The building is believed to be a total loss, said David Nelson of the SeaTac Fire Department.
