Suspect arrested in Pioneer Square nightclub arson investigation

A 29-year-old man was arrested Sunday morning and booked into King County Jail.

SEATTLE — Seattle police made an arrest in connection to the Trinity Nightclub arson that happened earlier this month. 

A 29-year-old man was arrested Sunday morning and booked into King County Jail for investigation of arson and an unrelated warrant.

Seattle police said the fire was intentionally set around 2:40 a.m. on October 14 in the Pioneer Square neighborhood.

It broke out in a space between the ceiling and the roof, making it difficult for firefighters to access.

"So crews were fighting the fire from the interior and from the roof," said a Seattle fire spokesperson.

The fire was under control by 3:30 a.m. The fire started in a section of the building that is not easily accessible.

No one was injured. The club was closed for repairs.

On Monday, the King County Prosecutors said they were pursuing a charge of "reckless burning" against the suspect and his bond was set at $10,000.
