South County Fire investigating after Saturday blaze at former Edmonds Family Fun Center

South County Fire crews spent almost two hours Saturday night time battling a hearth on the former Family Fun Center in Edmonds.

A passerby first reported a brush hearth close to the constructing round 9:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25, stated South County Fire spokesperson Christie Veley. “When firefighters arrived, they found the building itself on fire. Additional firefighters were dispatched, leading to a massive response.” Nearly 60 firefighters had been on the scene, together with crews from the Everett and Shoreline Fire Departments.

“The Family Fun Center brought decades of memories to our community until closing in 2020,” Veley stated. “Since then, South County Fire has responded to at least five fires at the site.”

Fires in that constructing “can be challenging due to access, low visibility and contents inside,” she added. “We’re grateful there were no injuries.”

The preliminary harm estimate is $30,000. The reason behind the hearth continues to be below investigation.
