CARNATION, Wash. — Six people, likely three generations of a family, were found dead Wednesday at a rural property east of Seattle, and police arrested two people who knew the victims, authorities said.
The two, a 29-year-old woman and a man in his early 30s, were being held for investigation of homicide, King County sheriff's Sgt. John Urquhart said.

He said they knew the victims, but the pair's own relationship was unclear. They came to the crime scene after investigators arrived there this morning, were questioned by investigators, then arrested around 4 p.m.
Urquhart said investigators had not determined a motive in the slayings.
The victims included a boy about age 3, a girl about age 6, a man and woman in their 30s, and a man and woman in their 50s. Their names were not released, but they were "likely three generations" of one family, Urquhart said.
Autopsies have not been performed on the bodies, but the cause of death was apparently gunshots, Urquhart said. They were likely killed late afternoon or early evening on Christmas Eve, he said.
