A fire that destroyed at least six businesses in a White Center strip mall may have been set intentionally.
King County Sergeant Tim Meyer says that’s based on new evidence that came to light Thursday.
“They have now reclassified this as an arson case,” Meyer said. “So it’s very much an open and active investigation that’s being investigated by our detectives. They’re going to continue their good work to identify the suspects and motive in this incident.”
