That smoke you may have seen billowing from the far side of Green Lake this afternoon was an apartment building fire near I-5.

The resident of the apartment where the fire started told our sister site My Green Lake that she thought the fire may have been caused by a cigarette that wasn’t fully extinguished, however, the Seattle Fire Department said the fire was caused by “combustibles placed against baseboard heater.” No one was injured.
