It was all over social media — a video showing a rack of bras up in smoke at a Walmart Supercenter in Renton.
The arson occurred at 743 Rainier Ave. S. around 8 p.m. Friday.

Police have released photos of the suspect. He is believed to be a teenage boy about 16 to 18 years old with darker-toned skin, very short black hair, and brown eyes. He is pictured wearing a gray t-shirt that says “WILDCAT” and black sweatpants with an Army logo.
Investigators believe the teen arrived in a white Cadillac Escalade and went directly to the women’s lingerie section, where he allegedly set the fire.
In-store video shows the suspect crouching briefly in the area where the fire started before going back to that Cadillac and getting away.
The building had to be evacuated and ventilated after the flames were put out.
If you recognize the suspect or have any information, please contact Detective Scott with the Renton Police Department at [email protected].
