Firwood Torched

The Firwood roadhouse, an 85 year old roadhouse in Fife burned to the ground Friday morning (May 16th). Federal investigators have ruled the fire to be arson. Being located out in the middle of nowhere, it was one of the few places one could still go to hear live music played loud unencumbered by city noise regulations that plague music venues in Seattle and many other major cities.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in the arson that destroyed the Fabulous Firwood Roadhouse. To report information, call Fife Police Lt. Tom Thompson at 253-896-8287.
