One of Seattle’s biggest hotels will remain closed for several days after a fire prompted an evacuation and major fire response.

Seattle Fire Department (SFD) crews rescued one person at the W Seattle Hotel in the 1100 block of 4th Ave Sunday afternoon.

Hotel guests in downtown Seattle were ordered to evacuate around 4 p.m. after a fire sent smoke rising through the hotel.

The hotel’s general manager told KOMO News the fire was caused by a mechanical issue in the laundry area.
