Officials reported late Thursday that the fire started by accident and was likely caused by improperly discarded smoking materials. It happened along the 500 block of Elliott Avenue West before 2:45 a.m. near the Seattle Waterfront.
Resident Shantell Welker lived at this tiny home village in Interbay for about six months until the fire ripped through the complex.
She said she escaped her tiny home as the structure was burning.

Caused by a meth smoker who’s torch accidentally caught his place on fire. Really how this horrible situation happened 😢

People with Warrants were not supposed to be in tent cities & I assume in Tiny Homes communities. Self governance

Near waterfront that's a joke wrong side of the tracks honey

This population is the least able to handle a situation like this.

I feel bad for this man. Accidents happen! Few days ago, I put some rice on the stove to reheat, and just then my Mama called . . . she's in a care home with the Parkinson's. Totally immobile and can barely speak, so it matters when she calls, but afterward I ditzed on the rice and laid down to cry. Suddenly smelled smoke, oh HELLZ no. Was able to douse the flames with a pot of water, but had to open all the windows before the building alarms went off. I got lucky.
