Ballard’s Take 5 Urban Market grateful for community support after explosion

SEATTLE — In Seattle, people living in the Ballard neighborhood came together on Friday to rally around a corner market that recently suffered major damage from a natural gas explosion.

At Take 5 Urban Market, the beloved business received the bad news early Thursday morning. The Seattle Fire Department said an accidental natural gas explosion caused flames to tear through the building.

“I am driving down here like, ‘I don’t want to see this. I don’t want to deal with this. What are we going to do?’ It was almost a panic attack reaction,” Bryan Vietmeier recalled.

“It was horrible. I thought oh my god it is gone,” said Rebecca Rouleau.
