Perhaps you’ve noticed the new space and equipment at the west end of the park, near the skateboard bowl and just off of Olympic View Drive.

Anyway, there will be grand opening shindiggery happening this coming Saturday.

When you’re done there, head down Olympic View Drive a few feet to Mel & Mias. Well worth it!

To sum up: looks like the fire wasn’t criminal in nature. Which, for those of us who live in the general area, is pretty heartening.

Yet, without an “exact cause”, it’s hard to feel too releived.

Anyway, the full text of the press release is below:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Scriber Lake Road Fire Investigation Update

LYNNWOOD, WA (February 2, 2017) – The Lynnwood Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) National Response Team have completed their onsite investigation into the January 25, 2017 structure fire at the construction site of a senior apartment complex, located at the 19800 block of Scriber Lake Road. The cause of the fire appears to be non-criminal in nature, however the exact cause of the fire is still unknown.

The site will be turned over to the Fire Marshal’s Office and Building Officials who will work with the property owner to secure the scene and begin recovery efforts. Scriber Lake Road will remain closed until the site can be properly secured. We ask that the public continue to stay clear of this area until that work is completed.

Thanks to the Snohomish County PUD, power was restored to the Tanglewood Apartment Complex early yesterday morning and those tenants were able to return to their homes. The 36 units of the Lynnview Apartment building remain uninhabitable due to smoke, heat, and water damage.

The City of Lynnwood and the Lynnwood Police Department sincerely appreciate the assistance of the ATF’s National Response Team on this investigation.
