If you saw the smoke to the north this morning, here’s what it was

Bob A in North Admiral took this photo around 8 this morning – looking north toward Magnolia – and shared it with WSB, wondering what the smoke was from. All we could tell at the time was, nothing in Seattle. Our friends at KING 5 said they had heard about something in North Kitsap. And now the Kitsap Sun has details – the community of Indianola actually had two fires to deal with today, including one at a “large new house,” though their time frame and description would correlate the smoke with the other fire, involving a garage and exploding propane tanks sending flames high into the air. So now you know.

Read about this on my way to work this morning, and was hoping it was not the beautiful new home a colleague of mine was building in Indianola, but tragically it is. They were around two weeks away from moving in. They had assembled the new home largely from cool materials they found on Craigslist, and it was truly a work of art. Very very sad. So very sorry for this family.

Sorry, comment time is over.
