A 64-year-old woman is accused of setting a fire that gutted a Kent strip mall on Sunday. The woman walked into a store and made comments about burning it down, court documents say. She went to the greeting card aisle and came out 90 seconds later to announce the store was on fire, court documents say. She was arrested for investigation of first-degree arson. A judge set her bail Monday at $225,000. The fire broke out at a Dollar Tree store in the 23400 block of Pacific Highway South and quickly spread to five adjacent businesses, including a post office, beauty salon and a gym.
