The old Mia Roma Building in Kenmore (7620 NE Bothell Way) has been acquired by the North King County Training Consortium. 

If you've driven by recently, you may have seen a bunch of firefighters, several fire engines and even some light smoke.

This is all being done for training purposes and they will not be burning the building down.

The building housed a large Italian restaurant which has been closed for years.
