A U-Haul truck exploded in the northeast corner of the Edmonds Center for the Arts parking lot late Tuesday morning, causing damage to nearby vchicles parked on the street but no known injuries. Edmonds police and South County Fire crews are on the scene investigating.
The Fire Marshal’s Office is taking the lead in determining what caused the explosion, which occured at 11:25 a.m. Tuesday near 6th Avenue and Glen Street. The explosion rocked the Public Safety Complex building just down the street, and police rushed to the scene, spokesperson Sgt. Josh McClure said. Edmonds police detectives and federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives representatives are assisting with the investigation.
While no injuries have been reported, some adjacent vehicles — mostly near 6th and Glen — were damaged, he added.
