At 3:54 a.m., a second fire was reported in a trash container that was pushed up against a building behind the Bella Vita Spa & Salon on Southeast King Street. Snoqualmie and Fall City fire units extinguished the fire and at the same time noticed that a third fire had been started in a trash container behind Snoqualmie City Hall. However, that fire had not spread to the adjacent building.

Estimated damages for all three fires totals about $13,000.

A $10,000 reward has been offered for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible by calling 1-800-55-ARSON.
