Kent police say it appears a flash-bang fired by officers during a SWAT standoff caused a fire that destroyed at least one Auburn business on April 8. Zanadu Studios, an event venue in Auburn, used to host bingo nights, weddings, and cabaret shows. Its Chief Operating Officer, Marlene Cobb, broke her silence Thursday and said in an email, "Evidence so far shows that the fire was likely caused by a ‘flash-bang’ device fired by police. ... I am devastated by the loss of my business and the death of my dog Tigger in the fire." When KING 5 followed up with Kent Police Department about the allegation, Assistant Chief Jarod Kasner said, "It appears that was the listed cause. We have not seen a copy of the report nor do we have the report, however, when we obtain a copy we will review it to get a full assessment of the determination."
