Arson fire chars exterior door at Shorecrest High School

Shoreline Fire, Shoreline Police, and the King County Fire Investigation Unit are looking into an intentionally-set fire that charred an exterior door at Shorecrest High School overnight.

School officials reported finding burn marks and charring on a portable classroom door just after students and staff arrived for classes. The set-fire apparently went out on its own, limiting the damage.

Shorecrest officials contacted the Shoreline Fire Marshal, and an investigation is underway.

Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to call Arson Alarm at 1-800-55-ARSON.

At this time, there is no known connection between the Shorecrest High School incident and an intentionally-set fire that occurred Sunday evening at NE 165th and 5th Avenue NE.
