Dozens of vessels destroyed in marina fire on Seattle's Portage Bay

Flames engulfed a boat storage facility between Seattle’s Ship Canal and the University Bridge early Wednesday.

The two-alarm fire in the 700 block of Northeast Northlake Way on Portage Bay was reported shortly after 2 a.m.

As many as 42 boats were destroyed, according to the Seattle Fire Department. The smoke could be seen from miles away and caused parts of the Seattle area to have air quality in the moderate to unhealthy for sensitive groups range.




The fire also damaged a nearby building, but firefighters were able to stop the flames from spreading further.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but that might explain the number of boats involved.

Rack and stack is basically multi level racks that hold boats. Kind like high bay racks at home depot.
