The 1908-built Curben Hotel on Summit Ave still stands after a fire Saturday morning required at least one person to be rescued during the response.
Seattle Fire was called to the 1700 block of Summit just south of Denny just before 6 AM to respond to an upper floor unit on fire in the three-story building.
Arriving firefighters performed a ladder rescue of at least one person. Seattle Fire reports they were treated at at the scene and in stable condition.
Crews were able to quickly bring the fire under control and a search revealed no additional victims.
It is not clear how many people will be displaced from the area of the building where the fire occurred in the longtime weekly-stay hotel.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Seattle Fire reports.
