Brothers Lost in State’s Worst Industrial Tragedy | Seattle News

Five hundred mourners gathered to honor Tyler and Brad Covington, two brothers killed in May in what’s now called Washington’s worst industrial disaster — a catastrophic tank rupture at a Longview packaging plant that claimed eleven lives. Born in Olympia, raised in Castle Rock, and forged by the same mill jobs — Tyler as a welder, Brad as an electrician — their paths mirrored each other, yet their spirits contrasted: Brad, the thrill-seeker; Tyler, the devoted dad. A candlelight service remembered each victim, followed by a classic car parade celebrating their shared love of automobiles. Survivors like Kurt Droese, injured beyond measure, show astonishing resilience. Investigations by state and federal agencies are underway, with findings due by fall and full reports expected next spring. The attorney general and county prosecutor are also probing, while federal regulators have already ordered toxic chemical removal from another mill — a sobering reminder that safety must never be an afterthought.

SWAT Standoff at Olympia Encampment | Seattle News
