An explosion at a homeless encampment outside Harborview Medical Center in Seattle was the result of “multiple explosive devices” being detonated, possibly in connection to an ongoing battle for control of the drug trade among the homeless, according to a newly-released police report.
The explosion happened Friday morning, July 21, at the encampment that sits between I-5 and the hospital in downtown Seattle.
In a police report obtained by KOMO News, witnesses to the explosion said it was a targeted attack on a fentanyl tent where 20 “customers” were inside using drugs.

I thank god every day I live in a free Republican state instead of a Democrat sh*thole of crime, poverty, homelessness, and despair.
Life under democrats! Cartels are in our country! War on criminals!
Seattle… why am I not surprised.
Welcome to the turf war, Sinaloa, pigs, Los Zetas, and dope fiends.
you democrats created this so do not complain, your state your cities your Fckng problem.
I'm sorry hold on….customers? For illegal drugs? I think some terminology is messed up here Perhaps we should Take a moment And realized that they were strung out drug users And gang members
Is disgusting! Why this happen? Are the people in USA more crazy than other nationality’s.
20 people smoking fentenol,they are already dea,d
terrible! It was once a really beautiful city, waterfront, emerald forests…now just shit
When you allow criminals to run your government, criminals will run your community as well.
God have mercy. There by the grace of God there go I. Where are the church pastors in the area? Drug abuse is systematic of underlying health and nutritional deficiencies and mental illness. The natural opium from lettuce and b12's for critical thinking. Supply and demand, no demand no suppliers. It takes a child to raise a village.
Liberal city in free fall.
Deserved!
don't call them customers lmao
they're druggies at most
Usually their a few guybdiingbdrug orthose inhe work force that have drug additions
KOMO is run by fundamentalist Sinclair Broadcasting, which presents unreliable “news”. I’d fact-check with the other stations — KING and KIRO — to see what really happened.
Boomers who brought drug culture to America in the 1960's are the reason our country has become whst it has. The blame gets pushed on younger generations but boomers brought the disease of drug addiction here.
Seattle doesn't have any real police officers
worst eviction policy ever
Stop the Jihad against drugs.
where would be a good place to store my 80k worth of goods? seems unlikely
WTF …
The only good news is what happens every eight minutes here in this country now
Empire?
Democrat paradise. 💯
Wrong alot of those people don't want to leave like that people like you deserve what ever you get when you are judged some familys barely make it and all that has to happen there car family member sick and there homeless so shame on you for being a piece of sh__
This is OUTRAGEOUS!!
Well, "The People" continue to elect the "progressives" who are responsible for empowering and enabling the criminals who take complete advantage of the lack of law enforcement. Virtue signaling is more important to the voters, than effective government, and effective law enforcement. If you sow the seeds, don't act surprised by what you reap.
Breaking Bad😮
You could not pay me to live on the West Coast. Hope that earthquake happens soon. Let the whole thing sink into the ocean – it needs a bath.
They need to lock up the Violent People. I was honeless but I wasn't Violent or Aggressive. The Snohomish Sheriffs helped us homeless people to get into treatment and then into housing.
Former America President Donald Trump was correct all along. He warned us.
🇺🇸 America is fast becoming a Third World Country Now!!!
It's all over the country now….
Former President Trump warned us that America 🇺🇸 is fast becoming a THIRD WORLD NATION… A THIRD WORLD SHIT HOLE.
the city is responsible for the bombing I know this as a fact.cant be a coincidence
"Does the state have a plan to deal with this?"
By this he means homelessness right?🤔
Thats a cartel camp
I love how they act like this hasn’t been going on for 5+ years. Lmao
Odd they got a drug ring happening in a homeless camp
You just cant make this stuff up, its like Cracked magazine came to life.
Wow ! I’m just so happy my husband & I sold everything and moved out of that Sh💩t hole of a state!
Inslee has destroyed what was on very beautiful place to live with his democrat wasteland & not giving a flying F about the actual tax payers. It’s all about these homeless junkies & gang members now for his precious sanctuary city.
People should sue him for what he has allowed to happen there & the complete negligence as the Governor of that state.
He’s honestly disgusting !
Good luck to everyone trying to get out of there
Get out if you can !
It was the best decision of our lives
Typical democrat city.
