A family of Seahawks fans, including a photographer who works for the team, are trying to salvage anything they can from their Lake Tapps house, which was destroyed in a fire. About all that's left of the Debbie and Cliff Blumenthal’s home is a Seahawks flag hanging out front. “Pretty tough,” said Jeff Marsh, who grew up in the house and returned to survey the damage, Monday. Marsh is a photographer for the Seahawks and was on the field snapping pictures during the first quarter, Saturday, when his phone buzzed. “I got a text from my wife that said that ‘everything is ok, but you need to call me right now,’” Marsh said. A minor chimney fire at his parents’ house was quickly spreading. East Pierce Fire and Rescue had to truck water to the scene because there was no fire hydrant nearby, Asst. Chief Jim Jaques said, Monday.
