Detectives Seek Public’s Assistance Identifying Arson Suspect

Seattle police detectives in the Arson Bomb Squad (ABS) are seeking the public’s assistance.

On Dec. 25, 2025, patrol officers responded to reports of a fire in the 800 block of East Pike Street at the Cinnaholic Bakery. The Seattle Fire Department (SFD) arrived and extinguished the flames. The fire damaged the exterior wall of the business and additional damage occurred during the emergency response.

The Fire Marshall determined the blaze was intentional; it started after cardboard outside the business was set on fire. First responders did not see anyone in the area as they arrived. SFD requested a police report documenting the suspected arson.  

Video surveillance cameras captured footage of the suspect, yet the quality of the images are low.

If anyone recognizes the person in the photographs, they are asked to call the SPD Non-Emergency Line at 206-625-5011.

Incident Number: 2025-375915
