Broadway 76 Gas Station Not an Option Right Now

76station1.jpgThe 76 gas station at the north end of Broadway is under a heavy lockdown at the moment--all the roads around, including Broadway, are blocked off. We heard from a guy directing traffic in a reflective orange vest--and therefore a quotable source--that someone ran over a pump. One of the FedEx Kinkos employees taking an enforced sunbreak on the curb told us that something had actually caught fire over there. ("Fire in building," says the Seattle 911 log.) There were a number of ambulances with people gathered around, but we're not sure if anyone was seriously hurt.
