Washington: Neighbors rocked by explosion near Sam Smith Park in Seattle

People living in the Central District near Sam Smith Park are on edge following an explosion early Sunday morning.

“It shook the house. It was almost like a real bomb, like something you would hear from a military base or something,” Tanner Lear, who lives in the area, said.

SPD said they did recover video footage of the explosion, which led officers to the exact location. That’s where police said they recovered components of an improvised explosive device or IED.
