A natural gas leak forced an entire condo building to evacuate on Friday evening at 1530 NW Market St.
A spokesperson from Seattle Fire says the initial call came at 8:20 p.m. on April 3, and the leak was secured just before 9 p.m. All eight floors were affected by the leak and needed ventilation before allowing residents back inside, which took another hour. Residents were allowed back in at about 10 p.m.
No injuries were reported in the incident.
