May 23 For 22-year-old Maya Lee, the apartment she moved into in early April with her boyfriend was a first.
Together, they d saved up for three months, coming up with enough money for the rent and security deposit, as well as the furniture and decorations that help to turn a small unit into a home.
That s what made what happened nine days later when an early morning fire consumed her building at Forest Hill Village in Tacoma so devastating, she said.
