Multiple people from 89 apartment units have been displaced after a fire broke out at a Kent apartment complex on Friday morning.
The fire started in a fourth-floor unit of the Woodland Estates in the 4800 block of Kent Des Moines Rd. around 9 a.m. The fire was quickly upgraded to a 2-alarm.
One person injured their leg by jumping to safety from a third-story balcony. The person was taken to Harborview Medical Center in unknown condition, said Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Captain Joe Root.
There was significant damage to the four-story building. It's unclear exactly how many units were damaged.
Ninety apartment units were ordered to vacate. Of those 90, 89 were occupied.
The Red Cross is working with building management to create a shelter on-site for those who were displaced.
The complex told residents the soonest they would be able to go home is in 10 days, but it could be longer. Fire officials do not know if those displaced will be without a home for the holidays.
Fire investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
