A fire has gutted a vacant north Seattle home. Neighbors say the home was used for an Airbnb in the 4300 block of 5th Avenue Northeast in the University District. This is right next to the freeway, so drivers may have seen smoke and lights coming from the area. Crews said heavy flames were coming out of the front porch and inside the home when they got there.

The city council approved designs for a fire station after the cost was reduced, reports The Dispatch.

Last spring, officials voted to replace the aging and dilapidated Station 3 firehouse. The firehouse was built in 1969 and expanded in 1987. In the decades since, it has fallen into disrepair and no longer meets the needs of the department.

The overall cost estimate was around $5.5 million. The estimated value of the old fire station land is around $1.5 million.

With the revised design, the new estimate for the Station 3 firehouse at 65^th Street dropped to just over $9 million, which, after the sale of the old station, could be reduced further to around $7.6 million.
