WOODINVILLE, Wash. —

Explosive devices were found inside luxury houses set ablaze Monday morning outside of Seattle, and police suspected that a well-known eco-terrorism group ignited the fires.

The multi-million-dollar development known as "Street of Dreams" in Woodinville, Wash., burst into flames in the early morning hours, and Snohomish County crews fought to contain the blaze.

The Earth Liberation Front, known for violent acts in the name of environmentalism, left a sign at the scene and was suspected to have set fire to the swanky, newly built neighborhood.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation released a statement saying that the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and local authorities were on-scene of the possible arson.

These people should be noted as terrorists. They’re almost as bad as the islamofascists. They serve the same god—satan.

Homes were “newly built”, no word on if any had been sold, real estate market is depressed — I would also look at developer

Each house of a "Street of Dreams" is generally an independently-financed and built project.

There's no "developer", per se ... more of an "organizer".

They are terrorists. That’s why their web-site was taken down.
They also burned some homes that were under construction that had workers sleeping in them.

Eco-terrorism in Seattle = Cost of doing business

I doubt ELF would have left a stupid sign so I doubt they did it but probably deserve to be punished for something else they did.

It’s probably a homebuyer who but down the cash and now can’t afford the home they bought. Maybe an MS employee who worked on Vista.

I also bet the perps will eventually get caught - they usually do in these arson things. Evidence is just too plentiful and people talk.

I think they've done it before ... at an arson of a large under-construction apartment complex in the San Diego area about 10 or 15 years ago.

“I doubt ELF would have left a stupid sign”
“I also bet the perps will eventually get caught”

You might want to do some research on elf/alf. They almost always leave a calling card. They want everyone to know when they pull these stunts. And I would not bet on anyone getting caught. These nut jobs are very smart and they have learned a lot for Al-Qaeda. They have loose knit cells and practice very good operational security.

These people need jobs. They’ve got too much time on their hands. Hopefully they will spend the next 50 years of that time doing time!

Care for the Environment is only a front.

My understanding is that they were "model" homes for showing. Wouldn't have been sold until on down the line. Also, these groups leave signs all the time. They are proud of what they do.
