Several small fires in Seattle’s Ballard neighborhood overnight are being investigated as arson. All of the four fires were set in homeless camps in a six-block area along the Burke Gilman Trail between Northwest 36th Street and Northwest 42nd Street. One fire burned a pile of items that a homeless man had been collecting for the past few months. The man told KIRO 7 he was out picking blackberries overnight, and when he came back, his items had been set on fire. He said he and another man fix bikes and collect things they might need to make life more comfortable on the street.
