    Lots of fire units arriving at the scene, but the fire is under control. This is at 1516 NW 46th Street, the Ballard Blocks building.

    Someone was just setting off fireworks in or around Ballard Commons. Was that what you heard?

    Fire was in a single room, and it is now out.

    I feel sorry for the LA Fitness folks, getting evacuated into this weather in their work-out togs!

    We were walking towards the Blowing Sands glass studio on 14th and heard what sounded like gunshots a few minutes ago.

    Thank you Silver. I figured as I drove by and saw all the flashing lights and the road blocked off that I would find out what happened when I got home and checked MyBallard. Sure enough.

    Jeez, stopgo, who cares? Let her do her thing. Go save a dog or something.

    Personally, I love that Silver has a scanner and posts here - I always check the forum when I have a question (like when I heard the loud bangs). So THANK YOU Silver!
