The incident put the hospital at risk, with debris reportedly impacting the building.
According to a police report obtained by The Post Millennial, the explosion was a targeted attack on a fentanyl tent within the encampment. The tent was being used by approximately 20 individuals for drug consumption. A witness stated that he saw the devices minutes before the explosion and alerted those inside.
In response, everyone inside the tent quickly exited by lifting the other side of the structure to escape. The witness also reported hearing gunshots and seeing flashing lights from the northeast, prompting him to attempt an exit to the south. However, he encountered another improvised explosive device (IED) south of the structure and heard someone yelling that the suspect was shooting at them.

Survivors of the incident informed investigators that the former leader of the encampment, known as "Coconut," had recently been replaced. In retaliation, Coconut returned to the encampment armed with a firearm. He allegedly shot at both the "old smoking tent" and the "new smoking tent," holding the occupants at gunpoint and robbing them of their belongings.

Court filings reveal that Coconut, identified as Michael Bonito Poasa, 55, has connections to drug trafficking operations in the area. Poasa, described as a Pacific Islander/Asian male in his 50s with cornrow-style braids and graying hair, was previously convicted of first-degree arson in 2020 and domestic violence in 2004. He was also a possible suspect in an arson case in 2020. Poasa is associated with a short white female with tan skin, known as "Monkey," who has been identified as 39-year-old Michelle Desire Alojosin.

Another witness mentioned ongoing conflicts over the theft of $80,000 worth of fentanyl from "The Asians" by one of the traffickers in the encampment. This theft allegedly led to a price being placed on the thief's head. The witness believed that the fire and explosion were acts of retaliation for the recent shooting death of an individual named "Foolish."

Graffiti vandal Cain Casey, also known as Eagr, was severely injured in the fire. Casey, who had recently been released from jail and was awaiting charges for causing over $200,000 in vandalism damage, is notorious in the area.
Despite the destruction of the encampment in the fire, individuals were already attempting to rebuild it just a few days later. Tents, gas cans, propane, and even video cameras to monitor the drug tents were being brought in.
Earlier this year, another drug camp nearby caught fire, and officers discovered large sums of cash, drugs, and guns inside a similar tent used for drug consumption.
The encampments are located on property belonging to the Washington State Department of Transportation. Last year, Washington State awarded the King County Regional Homelessness Authority $50 million to address the issue of homelessness in the area.
