Investigation continues into I-5 brush fires

EVERETT — A string of brush fires along I-5 on June 30 remains under investigation.

The cause of the fires, more than eight of them, has not been determined, the Snohomish County Fire Marshal’s Office reported Friday.

Earlier, police indicated the fires may have been set by arsonists, possibly using flares. The fires were started between Everett and the Snohomish-Skagit county line.

The suspects were described as two men, in their 50s or older, in a light-colored Hyundai Sonata.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Washington State Patrol at 360-654-1204.
