VIDEO: Months after a series of fires damaged or destroyed five businesses in Seattle over a four-week period, police now have a suspect.
Now business owners in the Queen Anne, Ballard, and Fremont neighborhoods are relieved.
Police believe Matthew Hooper, 38, is responsible for the five arsons last fall, including a massive fire at the Gascoigne Lumber Co. The fires caused millions of dollars in damage. Hooper has been charged with four counts of second degree arson, prosecutors said. He's being held on a $275,000 bond. "The main warehouse started right here," Greg Groce told KOMO News as he walked next to the long pile of burnt wood left behind from the fire at Gascoigne Lumber. "And it went for 100 yards that way. And it's not there anymore."
