Man's body found in parking lot near Smokey Point
ARLINGTON, Wash. - Police are investigating after a body was found lying in a parking lot early Saturday morning near Smokey Point, officials said.
The body was found at about 5:30 a.m. by a resident of the area who was leaving for work from his home near 168th Street and Smokey Point Boulevard, said Kristin Banfield of the city of Arlington.

The man's cause of death was not immediately known.
