Fire at N 71st St & Fremont Ave N
There was a fire in the basement of a house at 550 N 71st St St this afternoon (Sunday, May 29, 2011). The fire was called in shortly before 5 p.m. and firefighters quickly put it out, according to our news partner PhinneyWood. “The home’s occupants were not home at the time,” reports PhinneyWood, “but they did come running around the corner at about 5:35 p.m., and were relieved when firefighters told them their dog was safe at a neighbor’s house. They told firefighters they also had a cat, but they didn’t know if it was inside at the time of the fire.”

You can read a history of the Greenlake Bar & Grill here and you can review our…
