Washington Contractor Finds Grenade in Bathtub

Remodeling can be a tricky task depending on if anything unexpected pops up while completing a job. A contractor working on a remodeling job in Washington was removing a bathtub when he discovered a grenade inside the wall.

The owner of Polar Bear Construction, Vadim Kharkhavyy, said he was tearing out the tub in the third-floor bathroom of the home in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, Washington, when he noticed a small, hidden compartment in the wall. There was also an object inside, which appeared to be a grenade.

Kharkhavyy took a video of the discovery and posted it on TikTok. “I rushed out of there, took a breath, and actually went back in and recorded the situation,” Kharkhavyy said. “I zoomed in on my phone and took a closer peek, I’m like that’s an actual freaking grenade.”

The Seattle Police Department’s bomb squad arrived at the home and confirmed the object was a grenade. Fortunately, it was inert. “They mentioned something about [World War II] and how veterans came home and they brought weapons and stuff with them and somebody stored it there and possibly forgot about it,” Kharkavyy said.
