It went up in smoke.
Seattle’s first legal marijuana-grow operation erupted in flames Wednesday — and about 3,000 pot plants perished in the blaze, fire officials and KIRO 7 TVsaid.
The two-alarm fire gutted Sea of Green Farms in Magnolia about 4 a.m. after an electrical wiring problem, the Seattle Fire Department said. It was controlled about 45 minutes later.
There were no reported injuries.
Firefighters, who wore standard masks to battle the blaze, were not affected by the marijuana fumes, Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore told The Seattle Times.
“The building is ventilated upward, so all the smoke went up into the air,” he said.
The fire caused about $250,000 in damages to the building and equipment, not including the lost marijuana products, the fire department said.
