described that there were contraptions, chemicals, things that he just happened to be familiar with due to a friend of his recently having made hash oil and harming himself. So, he reported this right away to our maintenance staff. And then, shortly after to myself as he was concerned about the safety of just, not only himself but everyone in the building as well. D:
You mentioned that he saw some items that he believed were consistent with the hash oil operation ‘cause he had some personal experience or a friend did with that type of operation?
S:
Yes.
D:
Did he mention anything else, any smells or odors?
S:
Just the odor of, strong, strong odor of marijuana.
D:
Okay. And then, what did you do with this information?
S:
So, I immediately reached out to our legal counsel, Parker (sp?) and Redford, explained to them what we were notified of. They immediately said we need to contact the police right away and report it, and that is what I did. I, we called the 911, and an officer came out pretty quickly, Officer SLUSSER. He first went to the apartment, and then, came into the office and reported what he had found.
D:
Okay. And you’re referencing incident 13-50722 on October 17 th, at approximately 1446 Hrs. when Officer SLUSSER responded. And can you summarize or share with me

answering those questions. He said he was new to the force as well to the State of Washington and he knew that there were different laws out here. He gave me an incident number, and then, said that he would be in contact with me in the next day or two after he spoke to a supervisor just to confirm some laws and policies and whatnot. So, and from then on, I did not hear from him. D:
Okay. Were you waiting to hear from him or did you have the understanding that there’d be some follow-through and that just hadn’t taken place yet?
S:
Both really. So, he said he would follow up with me but, really, that very next day, obviously, I started getting in contact with my legal counsel and, obviously, the issue came up of, well, we’re dealing with cardholders and was this truly illegal in the State of Washington or was it a Federal? You know, there’s all sorts of issues with that. So, basically, what our legal counsel advised is that we need to get a copy of the incident report and/or we need the officer to let us know if he was willing to testify in court since he was the one that witnessed everything and experienced it all. So, I immediately began emailing him, calling him. His voicemail was not set up, so I wasn’t able to leave him a message ever. He did end up calling me a few days later to a week later and leaving a message when no one was in the office. I did call him back again, was not able to leave a message or get a hold of him. On several occasions, not only emailed him but called his main office and asked to speak to him, and they each time took, took messages, my name, my number, what I needed to speak to him about, and to this day, I have not heard back from him.
D:
Okay. So, is it fair to say that, on your end, you were still working your authority with what you can or can’t do regarding the hash lab as Mr. EIDE reported it to you? So, you were

200 feet away from the building, I could smell a really strong odor of of marijuana. I mean unlike I’ve ever smelled. D:
Okay.
S:
So, it was, again, I assume it was coming from his home.
D:
Okay.
S:
Since it was the same day it was reported but, yeah, that’s about it.
D:
On the incident report for incident 13-50722 on October 17 th, it names the reporting party as Courtney CALLAHAN. Who’s Courtney?
S:
She is the assistant manager here.
D:
So, she is an employee.
S:
Yes, she is, uh-huh.
D:
Okay. In talking about Unit KK-202 or Mr. STRYCHARSKE prior prior to the incident in October and today, were there any other complaints or concerns by other tenants or your staff that raised suspicion about any type of activity in Unit KK-202?
S:
No, not necessarily complaints. Daniel has complained about service request issues and things like that. He’s, tends to just complain about everything, demands things be fixed

D:
Okay. Can you describe to me if there was anybody else you suspected to be living there, residing there or spending a lot of time?
S:
Yes. So, when Daniel first moved in in April, he had reported to our office that he was going to have his friend, Jesse KAPLAN, move in with him and be on the lease. He did say that Jesse would not be added to the lease until possibly a couple months later, just because he was in another another lease at anther apartment. So, time went by, he never added himself. We didn’t think much of it. When the complaints—well, complaints— well, the service request started about three months back, every time Daniel came in, Jesse came with him. And the way Jesse spoke was in, in a sense that he lived here. He spoke as if he were a resident himself. Jesse also paid rent in a form of a check in his name, name, was getting packages delivered here, so when all that was said and done, we basically came to the, you know, determination, yes, he did live here. We served a 10-day notice to comply to Daniel, just asking that Jesse be added to the lease per the lease requirements. requirements. Daniel responded by basically arguing the same that Jesse was not an occupant, he just visited often. We kind of went back and forth about that. Of course, it’s a very gray area, so we just explained explained to him that that’s that’s fine if he doesn’t doesn’t want want to be added added but just just the understanding is he cannot live here. He can’t pay rent rent,, he can’t get packages, he’s not an occupant. Other than that, he is the only person that I am aware of that could possibly live in that apartment.
D:
And you mentioned that 10-day notice was served on September 5 th of 2013. 2013. Does that sound about right?
S:
Yes. Let me double-check. I believe so. Yes.

Almost simultaneously, I felt a shockwave coming from, would be the southwest corner of the building, diagonally right through my apartment. You could just tell it just vibrated right through it. About 15, 20 minutes later, I started to hear neighbors just moving around loudly upstairs. And at first I thought it was just some furniture that crashed or something. I didn’t know. About 20 minutes later, a nice neighbor lady knocked on my door and said there was a fire in the back. And I just let it go with that but I

D:
Okay, Mr. PETRIE, you want to kind of start from the beginning of your first recollection regarding the fire incident today, what you heard or saw or about what time and go from there.
P:
Yeah. It was about 6:20, 6—between 6:15 and 6:30 sometime. I was just starting to wake up. I could hear a dog barking, a nd I think that’s actually what woke me up was th e dog barking, now that I think about it. And then, there was the … a … a very loud explosion a banging sound, I guess. Not really banging. Just one, one explosion is what it was. And it kind of rattled the windows and, and my f iance thought it was a tree falling on the building. And I kind of immediately knew it wasn’t the tree falling just by the sound of it. It didn’t have a popping, like a tree sound. So, I got up, looked out the window, and the building next door was, there’s flames shooting out both sides of the building. And so, I

D:
Okay. And by the time you heard, what was the time approximately, from the time you heard the explosion, to when you looked out your window and saw that the building was, had flames shooting out of both sides?
P:
I’d say less than a minute.
D:
Less than a minute.
P:
Uh-huh.
D:
Okay. Did you happen to smell anything out of the ordinary?
P:
Um, it, it, it didn’t exactly smell like just timber or wood burning. It sounded, it, it did have a, a plasticky smell, I was thinking it could’ve been carpet or just people’s tv’s and stuff, I don’t know. Um, I just figured that’s what it was. So, but there was more, more, uh, stronger smell than just wood burning, I guess.
D:
Okay.
P:
I just figured it’s just normal for a house fire kind of thing but I don’t know. I haven’t really experienced house fire before.
D:
Did you observe anything out of the ordinary regarding the color or volume of smoke?
P:
When it was dark I couldn’t really tell that much about the smoke. It just looked dark to me. By the time the trucks came and kind of lit it up a bit, it was just mostly, what I

D:
Okay. Was there anything else you’d like to share about either what you saw or heard regarding this incident?
P:
Um, uh, I don’t know. I think that’s about it. Just a, it was kind of, it seemed very unlikely to have an explosion like this. That’s why I was kind of concerned. Just why would something explode in a, in a unit that, ‘cause I know these apartments don’t have gas, so. Otherwise, I would have thought well maybe it’s a gas, natural gas explosion but there’s no, they’re all electric. There shouldn’t be anything in here that’s gonna explode like that, so that’s what was interesting to me mostly. Scary really, so.
D:
You found it odd that in the, in these buildings, especially since they don’t have any type of gas supply…
P:
Uh-huh.
D:
That there would be such a loud and voluminous explosion.
P:
Yes, absolutely. It was, it was very loud and that, the shockwave even—I have a friend who lives in the building next to it. I didn’t mention this earlier but he said the, the nails in his wall came through the sheetrock.
D:
Oh.
P:
Because of the, the shockwave.

P:
Yeah, in the windows which were rattling and, yeah.
D:
Okay. So, you noticed that the windows were rattling. And then, did you also feel it in your person, and so…
P:
Yeah, and I, I was lying down.
D:
And you were lying down at the time?
P:
Yeah.
D:
Okay. So, you were already awake at the time possibly because of the dog.
P:
Right.
D:
When this happened.
P:
Uh-huh.
D:
Okay. Anything else you could think of?
P:
No, not really. No. That’s pretty much it, yeah.
D:
Okay. The time is 1:39 p.m. by my watch and I’m ending the recording.

Case 13-54055 Transcript of JEB-2A
described that there were contraptions, chemicals, things that he just happened to be familiar with due to a friend of his recently having made hash oil and harming himself. So, he reported this right away to our maintenance staff. And then, shortly after to myself as he was concerned about the safety of just, not only himself but everyone in the building as well. D:
You mentioned that he saw some items that he believed were consistent with the hash oil operation ‘cause he had some personal experience or a friend did with that type of operation?
S:
Yes.
D:
Did he mention anything else, any smells or odors?
S:
Just the odor of, strong, strong odor of marijuana.
D:
Okay. And then, what did you do with this information?
S:
So, I immediately reached out to our legal counsel, Parker (sp?) and Redford, explained to them what we were notified of. They immediately said we need to contact the police right away and report it, and that is what I did. I, we called the 911, and an officer came out pretty quickly, Officer SLUSSER. He first went to the apartment, and then, came into the office and reported what he had found.
D:
Okay. And you’re referencing incident 13-50722 on October 17 th, at approximately 1446 Hrs. when Officer SLUSSER responded. And can you summarize or share with me

answering those questions. He said he was new to the force as well to the State of Washington and he knew that there were different laws out here. He gave me an incident number, and then, said that he would be in contact with me in the next day or two after he spoke to a supervisor just to confirm some laws and policies and whatnot. So, and from then on, I did not hear from him. D:
Okay. Were you waiting to hear from him or did you have the understanding that there’d be some follow-through and that just hadn’t taken place yet?
S:
Both really. So, he said he would follow up with me but, really, that very next day, obviously, I started getting in contact with my legal counsel and, obviously, the issue came up of, well, we’re dealing with cardholders and was this truly illegal in the State of Washington or was it a Federal? You know, there’s all sorts of issues with that. So, basically, what our legal counsel advised is that we need to get a copy of the incident report and/or we need the officer to let us know if he was willing to testify in court since he was the one that witnessed everything and experienced it all. So, I immediately began emailing him, calling him. His voicemail was not set up, so I wasn’t able to leave him a message ever. He did end up calling me a few days later to a week later and leaving a message when no one was in the office. I did call him back again, was not able to leave a message or get a hold of him. On several occasions, not only emailed him but called his main office and asked to speak to him, and they each time took, took messages, my name, my number, what I needed to speak to him about, and to this day, I have not heard back from him.
D:
Okay. So, is it fair to say that, on your end, you were still working your authority with what you can or can’t do regarding the hash lab as Mr. EIDE reported it to you? So, you were

Okay.
S:
So, it was, again, I assume it was coming from his home.
D:
Okay.
S:
Since it was the same day it was reported but, yeah, that’s about it.
D:
On the incident report for incident 13-50722 on October 17 th, it names the reporting party as Courtney CALLAHAN. Who’s Courtney?
S:
She is the assistant manager here.
D:
So, she is an employee.
S:
Yes, she is, uh-huh.
D:
Okay. In talking about Unit KK-202 or Mr. STRYCHARSKE prior prior to the incident in October and today, were there any other complaints or concerns by other tenants or your staff that raised suspicion about any type of activity in Unit KK-202?
S:
No, not necessarily complaints. Daniel has complained about service request issues and things like that. He’s, tends to just complain about everything, demands things be fixed

D:
Okay. Can you describe to me if there was anybody else you suspected to be living there, residing there or spending a lot of time?
S:
Yes. So, when Daniel first moved in in April, he had reported to our office that he was going to have his friend, Jesse KAPLAN, move in with him and be on the lease. He did say that Jesse would not be added to the lease until possibly a couple months later, just because he was in another another lease at anther apartment. So, time went by, he never added himself. We didn’t think much of it. When the complaints—well, complaints— well, the service request started about three months back, every time Daniel came in, Jesse came with him. And the way Jesse spoke was in, in a sense that he lived here. He spoke as if he were a resident himself. Jesse also paid rent in a form of a check in his name, name, was getting packages delivered here, so when all that was said and done, we basically came to the, you know, determination, yes, he did live here. We served a 10-day notice to comply to Daniel, just asking that Jesse be added to the lease per the lease requirements. requirements. Daniel responded by basically arguing the same that Jesse was not an occupant, he just visited often. We kind of went back and forth about that. Of course, it’s a very gray area, so we just explained explained to him that that’s that’s fine if he doesn’t doesn’t want want to be added added but just just the understanding is he cannot live here. He can’t pay rent rent,, he can’t get packages, he’s not an occupant. Other than that, he is the only person that I am aware of that could possibly live in that apartment.
D:
And you mentioned that 10-day notice was served on September 5 th of 2013. 2013. Does that sound about right?
S:
Yes. Let me double-check. I believe so. Yes.

Okay. Mr. DOLAK, we’ve had a brief discussion about what you experienced this morning. You want to go ahead and kind of start from the beginning and tell me what you remember about the events this morning?
J:
Sure. I was sitting at my kitchen table, listening to the radio. I hear a loud thump, like a base drum. Almost simultaneously, I felt a shockwave coming from, would be the southwest corner of the building, diagonally right through my apartment. You could just tell it just vibrated right through it. About 15, 20 minutes later, I started to hear neighbors just moving around loudly upstairs. And at first I thought it was just some furniture that crashed or something. I didn’t know. About 20 minutes later, a nice neighbor lady knocked on my door and said there was a fire in the back. And I just let it go with that but I

D = Detective James BRACK P = Caleb A. PETRIE D:
Okay. This is Detective BRACK with the Bellevue Police Department. It’s November 5 th, 2013 at about 1:32 p.m. by my watch. This is regarding case 13-54055. It’s a fire investigation. I’m currently in Unit JJ-202 with the tenant, Caleb A. PETRIE. Mr. PETRIE, do I have permission to record o ur conversation?
P:
Yes.
D:
Can you spell your last name for me and give your date of birth.
P:
PETRIE, P-E-T-R-I-E, and 3/8/75.
D:
Okay, Mr. PETRIE, you want to kind of start from the beginning of your first recollection regarding the fire incident today, what you heard or saw or about what time and go from there.
P:
Yeah. It was about 6:20, 6—between 6:15 and 6:30 sometime. I was just starting to wake up. I could hear a dog barking, a nd I think that’s actually what woke me up was th e dog barking, now that I think about it. And then, there was the … a … a very loud explosion a banging sound, I guess. Not really banging. Just one, one explosion is what it was. And it kind of rattled the windows and, and my f iance thought it was a tree falling on the building. And I kind of immediately knew it wasn’t the tree falling just by the sound of it. It didn’t have a popping, like a tree sound. So, I got up, looked out the window, and the building next door was, there’s flames shooting out both sides of the building. And so, I

D:
Okay. And by the time you heard, what was the time approximately, from the time you heard the explosion, to when you looked out your window and saw that the building was, had flames shooting out of both sides?
P:
I’d say less than a minute.
D:
Less than a minute.
P:
Uh-huh.
D:
Okay. Did you happen to smell anything out of the ordinary?
P:
Um, it, it, it didn’t exactly smell like just timber or wood burning. It sounded, it, it did have a, a plasticky smell, I was thinking it could’ve been carpet or just people’s tv’s and stuff, I don’t know. Um, I just figured that’s what it was. So, but there was more, more, uh, stronger smell than just wood burning, I guess.
D:
Okay.
P:
I just figured it’s just normal for a house fire kind of thing but I don’t know. I haven’t really experienced house fire before.
D:
Did you observe anything out of the ordinary regarding the color or volume of smoke?
P:
When it was dark I couldn’t really tell that much about the smoke. It just looked dark to me. By the time the trucks came and kind of lit it up a bit, it was just mostly, what I

D:
Okay. Was there anything else you’d like to share about either what you saw or heard regarding this incident?
P:
Um, uh, I don’t know. I think that’s about it. Just a, it was kind of, it seemed very unlikely to have an explosion like this. That’s why I was kind of concerned. Just why would something explode in a, in a unit that, ‘cause I know these apartments don’t have gas, so. Otherwise, I would have thought well maybe it’s a gas, natural gas explosion but there’s no, they’re all electric. There shouldn’t be anything in here that’s gonna explode like that, so that’s what was interesting to me mostly. Scary really, so.
D:
You found it odd that in the, in these buildings, especially since they don’t have any type of gas supply…
P:
Uh-huh.
D:
That there would be such a loud and voluminous explosion.
P:
Yes, absolutely. It was, it was very loud and that, the shockwave even—I have a friend who lives in the building next to it. I didn’t mention this earlier but he said the, the nails in his wall came through the sheetrock.
D:
Oh.
P:
Because of the, the shockwave.

No, not really. No. That’s pretty much it, yeah.
