Just over a week after the Lumberyard Bar in White Center was destroyed by an arson set fire, they announced via Facebook that they have found a new location. They are seeking help in getting the new space outfitted. 

The owners suspect that the fire was set as a hate crime since they are one of very few LGBTQ establishments on the Westside. It was originally deemed accidental until new video evidence was found that pointed to arson as the cause. A $10,000 reward is beiing offered to anyone whose information leads to arrest and conviction of the perpetrator(s).

The new space is located essentially across the street, east of the former location, in a space that had been in preparation previously for a new restaurant but had been halted for reasons that are not known at this time.

A GoFundMe page set up to help them saw a tremendous level of support with many contributors pledging several thousand dollars each, quickly driving their total campaign over $100,000 where it was suspended.

Recognizing that others in the same building were suffering too, they posted this page of QR codes for people to provide donations.

They said:
