'Suspicious' fire scorches popular Pioneer Square nightclub

SEATTLE -- A fire broke out outside a popular Pioneer Square nightclub early Monday morning and fire officials are investigating the fire's cause as a possible arson.

The fire broke out around 3 a.m. at the Trinity nightclub in the 100 block of Occidental Ave. South, according to Seattle Fire officials.

Investigators say most of the fire damage was outside the front door and in a vacant part of the club. Luckily the building's sprinkler system activated and helped prevent the spread of flames.

Firefighters arrived moment later and finished dousing the fire. No one was hurt.

Maybe because they are gathering places for groups under attack---blacks, gays, Latinx, left activists??

Capitol Hill (Seattle's biggest LGBT neighborhood) and Fremont (its traditional countercultural neighborhood) have lots of nightclubs like that. Trinity is an EDM club.
