SEQUIM —The Safeway store at 680 W. Washington St. in Sequim was evacuated Friday because of smoke coming from a vent, Clallam County Fire District No. 3 officials said.
Thick smoke was reported at about 9:13 a.m. near the front of the store were lottery tickets are sold, District 3 Assistant Chief Dan Orr said.
“It look like the fan motor went out,” Orr said.
The store was evacuated as a precaution.
The faulty fan was isolated and the store reopened shortly after noon.
An electrician was on scene.
“All’s fine,” Orr said Friday.
