Kevin Todd Swalwell was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty to 11 counts of arson.

He was arrested Nov. 13, 2009 near the scene of a three-alarm fire that destroyed a vacant warehouse in Shoreline. He also was accused of setting fires that damaged restaurants, small businesses and a theater in the Greenwood neighborhood. The fires caused more than $2 million in damage. One man suffered burns.
