Seattle Fire sent a mid-size response, and Seattle Police sent street-closing assistance, but a gas leak in the 4500 block of 26th SW has been handled quickly; SFD reported being able to shut it down within moments of their arrival. They’re checking now for gas levels or other impacts inside at least one nearby house.

That wasn’t what the explosion sound was, was it?Heard a huge boom right before 3:30. It wasn’t fireworks or Nucor (at least not what their booms usually sound like)

  I hadn’t heard of an explosion but generally would say, if there was an explosion in connection with a gas leak, I’d expect a much more serious response …

  I was very close by and yes it was fireworks.

Sorry, comment time is over.
