What officials posted
In a post on X timestamped 1:55 a.m. on Feb. 22, 2026, the Seattle Fire Department said crews were responding to reports of a fire in a residence in the 2700 block of NE 145th St and asked the public to avoid the area. The department had not released further details when this story was published.
Where this is and who might be affected
NE 145th Street runs along Seattle's northern edge and forms part of a busy corridor that connects to the I-5 interchange, so closures there can ripple into commute routes. The Shoreline site notes current lane changes and work around the I-5 ramps that can alter detour patterns and traffic flows during construction.
Help and next steps for residents
If you are affected by the fire and need immediate assistance, call 911; for recovery help the American Red Cross offers shelter and short-term aid and maintains guidance at its home-fire resources page. Residents should avoid the scene, follow directions from first responders and watch for official updates as more information becomes available.
