I live east of Seattle.
The miscreants are three former Microsoft employees who were “cooking” in their apartment.
After the explosion, which moderately injured and burned the three guys, an entire section of the complex caught on fire.
An elderly woman, the first female Mayor of Bellevue, WA, fell and fractured her hip trying to evacuate.
She died a few weeks later, from respiratory and bladder infection issues, which is quite common for elderly females after hip fractures.

The perp has a history of schizophrenia.
Plus, a strict reading of Bellevue Code actually seems to allow the manufacture of hash oil inside a residence.
“Hash oil explosions rise with legalized marijuana”

An elderly former Bellevue mayor died two weeks after fracturing her hip trying to evacuate.
