The apartments are located just off I-5, north of I-405. According to KOMO journalist Tammy Mutasa, no one was injured, though some families were displaced because their units sustained damage.

Tukwila Fire had responded to reports of a fire there earlier yesterday. Officials are investigating whether the two fires are related.
