St. Helen's - but orange. there was only time to grab my ourselves & the cat. i was so scared & it had only just begun. i'll NEVER forget that night. in one fall swoop the arsonist managed to take out a little boy, an elderly man & a disabled man ripping across 3 very weakened populations of our demographic killing them all. it was a tragedy of proportions that no one could've imagined beforehand. my whole neighborhood was in shock for several weeks. besides the 1st night - the next 2 weeks were bizarre too. among the displaced residents & their family members that came back all the time, everyday - in shock - i prolly would too... we also had; the fire & police departments, FTA & arson investigators, demolition crew, news crews - EVERY channel; 4, 5, 7, 13... king county animal control, helicopters, lookey-loos, a local senior citizen home came by in their bus a couple times, even a Metro bus drove up the hill one day - NEVER before, more traffic than we'd ever had on our normally quiet hill, people legitimatelly grieving & holding private family services on the side of the hill... or to the even more public memorial on the 4rth of july that hundreds of people attended & wore special shirts & sent up hundreds of white balloons all in rememberance for the littlest victim Edgar. i believe he was 8 or 9. i always saw him running through the neighborhood with his little brother & sister. instead i was now standing on the hill in front of his apartment with his little brother & sister & hundreds of people & family who were all sobbing for the little boy who was no more. it was sad, shocking & disgusting when this all went down. 2 months later i had to move. & this night was a MAJOR part of the reason why i didn't feel safe at my old apt anymore. i wish this could get solved. i feel like its going to be forgotten about. i lived next door & had to be evacuated that night. my building was in line as the fire raced up the hill. i moved 2 months later & one of the reasons why was because of this scary night. i took hundreds & hundreds of pictures over that night & the following days & weeks. from the fire, to the devastation, shock, investigation & demo. i haven’t looked at ‘em too much. kinda thought someone might want them later for archival reasons.

it was a SCARY night. when i first realized a fire was in my neighborhood i opened my door to run out & the building in front of me had flames that swirled so high into the night sky. orange, black & scary they spun up into the elevation like a tornado & reminded me of Mt. St. Helen’s – but orange. there was only time to grab my ourselves & the cat. i was so scared & it had only just begun. i’ll NEVER forget that night.

in one fall swoop the arsonist managed to take out a little boy, an elderly man & a disabled man ripping across 3 very weakened populations of our demographic killing them all. it was a tragedy of proportions that no one could’ve imagined beforehand. my whole neighborhood was in shock for several weeks.

besides the 1st night – the next 2 weeks were bizarre too. among the displaced residents & their family members that came back all the time, everyday – in shock – i prolly would too… we also had;
the fire & police departments,
FTA & arson investigators,
demolition crew,
news crews – EVERY channel; 4, 5, 7, 13…
king county animal control,
helicopters,
lookey-loos,
a local senior citizen home came by in their bus a couple times,
even a Metro bus drove up the hill one day – NEVER before,
more traffic than we’d ever had on our normally quiet hill,
people legitimatelly grieving & holding private family services on the side of the hill…

or to the even more public memorial on the 4rth of july that hundreds of people attended & wore special shirts & sent up hundreds of white balloons all in rememberance for the littlest victim Edgar. i believe he was 8 or 9. i always saw him running through the neighborhood with his little brother & sister. instead i was now standing on the hill in front of his apartment with his little brother & sister & hundreds of people & family who were all sobbing for the little boy who was no more.

it was sad, shocking & disgusting when this all went down. 2 months later i had to move. & this night was a MAJOR part of the reason why i didn’t feel safe at my old apt anymore. i wish this could get solved. i feel like its going to be forgotten about.
