Two motorcyclists traveling eastbound on NE 205th (SR 104) collided with a turning vehicle at 1st NE by the Echo Lake mural.

The motorcyclists were thrown from their bikes and died at the scene.

One of the bikes caught on fire.

It is believed that speed was a factor in the collision.

Both motorcyclists were Shoreline men, age 26.

No one in the vehicle was injured.

The accident, which happened around 6:50pm Wednesday evening, shut down all and then part of the highway for several hours.

The scene was cleared and the road reopened shortly after 11pm.
