Default plane down near seattle

The airport is Evergreen Sky Ranch, a private, grass strip (2650' long)
located near the town of Black Diamond (actually it looks closer to Enumclaw
or even Auburn to me, but it's listed as in Black Diamond), about 15 NM
southeast of Seattle.

"Diamond Head" is considerably west of there (and probably has much nicer
weather).

I just saw on the King 5 news that a single engine Beechcraft Bonanza
crashed shortly after takeoff from the diamond head?? airport. (Not sure

if
my info is correct at this time).
The Beechcraft caught fire after crashing into a cargo trailer in a grassy
field near the end of the airport.

The good news is that the four people on-board although badly burned did
manage to escape and are now being treated in hospital.

I wish a speedy recovery for all.
