Everett man arrested for hate crime, accused of planting pipe bomb
The Brief An Everett man faces a hate crime offense for allegedly planting a pipe bomb in a woman's SUV on New Year's Eve. Police say Steven Goldstine was seen in surveillance footage lighting an explosive and then throwing it inside a vehicle before running away. EVERETT, Wash. - An Everett man faces a hate crime offense for allegedly planting a pipe bomb in a woman's SUV on New Year's Eve. After the explosion, responding officers say they found a detonated pipe bomb inside a Ford Explorer in an apartment complex near Pacific Avenue and Rucker Avenue in Everett. Police say Steven Goldstine is seen in surveillance footage lighting an explosive and then throwing it inside the vehicle before running away. Goldstine was arrested on St. Patrick's Day, nearly half a mile away from the crime scene. Charging documents say Goldstine has multiple prior convictions and was arrested for pointing a gun at Black Lives Matter protesters in 2020. The owner of the vehicle spoke with FOX 13 but did not want to share her name. She and her husband are Black, and she says Goldstine has called them racial slurs and even left a racist voicemail on her phone a day after the bombing. "I was so worried that he was going to come and throw a bomb through the window," she said. "So every time I hear a little creaking that's not normal around from this zone, I jump up to be looking through the door." The documents say Goldstine didn't even live at the complex, but was friends with one of the residents. The victim says he has since died, but wants him to pay for her car and emotional damage. Goldstine faced a judge last week, but no future court dates have been scheduled so far. A charging deadline was set for April 4.

Everett man arrested for detonating pipe bomb, facing hate crime charges
An Everett man is now in custody for an attack involving a pipe bomb, used to blow up an SUV at an apartment complex on New Year's Eve. In a security video obtained by KIRO 7, someone can be seen wearing a headlight in a parking lot and throwing an object through the SUV's window. The car alarm goes off, and about 30 seconds later there's an explosion, with glass and debris flying everywhere. This week, Everett PD arrested 54-year-old Steven Goldstine, who lives just a few blocks away from where the crime happened. The victims, a married couple, say the suspect would come to their complex to visit a friend in another unit. One of the victims has a breathing condition and says she repeatedly complained about the suspect and friends smoking near her vehicle — they would respond with racial slurs. The husband and wife are Black. The wife says her husband got into a fight with the suspect weeks earlier and that the pipe bomb was retaliation. The victim later got a voicemail, saying: 'Hey, you (racial slur and expletive)… are you still having breathing problems?… how is your car running?… boy, what an explosion that was.' The wife briefly spoke with KIRO 7, asking not to show her face. 'I hope he stays in jail for a long, long time and he needs to pay for my car and emotional damage that he has done,' she said. Police arrested Goldstine and said they found 750 rounds of ammo and a stockpile of fireworks at his home. He is facing charges of arson, possession of an explosive device, and committing a hate crime. He's in custody on $500,000 bail. Watch KIRO 7 News live tonight at 9 p.m. for the details.
