Post Options fire cause ruled to be accidental, fundraiser underway

A fire at the Post Options business center in Seattle was ruled accidental, causing extensive damage estimated at $175,000. The Seattle Fire Department confirmed the fire occurred just before 8:30 PM and briefly interrupted their response due to a "suspicious device," which turned out to be damaged wiring. The Unicorn bar, located nearby, also sustained water and smoke damage, leading to its closure for the weekend. The local business community has organized a fundraiser to support Post Options, which offers crucial services such as PO boxes and printing. Known for its generosity, Post Options serves many Capitol Hill businesses and individuals.

The owners are dedicated to recovering any mail for their customers, which has garnered positive community sentiment. The duration of Post Options's closure remains uncertain as they assess the damage. Community members are encouraged to contribute to the recovery efforts.
