Shopper’s Anger Turns Into Arson This Holiday Season

A three-alarm fire that gutted a Kent strip mall on Sunday may have begun because one store was out of shopping carts.
Court documents say the woman now charged with setting the fire had gone into the Dollar Tree Store at 23406 Pacific Highway S., then mentioned to an employee that there weren’t any carts. She said she was going elsewhere to shop and left. She returned and said something about "burning the store down," court documents say. She went to the greeting card aisle, then came back and announced, "The store is on fire."
