Investigators are looking into the possibility of a bias crime as part of their arson investigation on a car that was deliberately set on fire early this morning in the Central District.
Shortly after 1:00 am, Seattle Police and Seattle Fire responded to a vehicle fire in the 2500 Block of East Pine Street. Seattle Fire extinguished the flames, and detectives from the Arson/Bomb Unit responded. Graffiti with racial epithets was spray-painted onto the car prior to the fire. There were no injuries, but the vehicle, a 1990 Cadillac Deville, appears to be a total loss. Anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact Seattle Police.
Correction: The Cadillac is a 1970 model, not 1990.
