CONCRETE — Three people were killed in a house fire in a rural area northeast of Seattle and authorities are looking for a pickup truck that remains unaccounted for after the blaze, police said.
The two-story home was destroyed in the Friday morning fire in the small town of Concrete, the Mount Vernon Police Department said in a statement.
Police said Monday that the three victims had been recovered and extensive damage at the site made efforts to recover the victims difficult.
The Skagit County Medical Examiner will release the victims’ names after each one is identified. Police said one of the victims was an employee of Skagit County. They didn’t provide further details but did confirm that the person did not work for the county sheriff’s office.
