It took 45 minutes for crews to knock down the fire, KIRO-TV reported. When first responders entered the home, they found 2 dead adults along with a dead child, a dead infant and a dead dog, said Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz and Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said at a news conference.
Authorities did not say if the victims and 11-year-old survivor were related. Officials have not yet determined the victims' causes of death.
"Our hearts and prayers are with the child that is alive as well as those that are deceased," Diaz said. "We are trying to make sure that the child does have a healthy recovery."
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
