It happened along a busy street in Mukilteo on Tuesday.
Luckily, the pilot and his passenger both walked away with no injuries.
Officials say the plane lost engine power shortly after take-off from a nearby airport.
The pilot tried to land on a clear road, but clipped power lines and a street light instead.
The explosion knocked out power in the area, but it was quickly restored.
