Police say there are no injuries but several vehicles were damaged. Police photos show at least one SUV with what appears to be fire damage to the engine.
A dash-camera caught the plane going down, hitting power lines and creating a fireball before it crashed in the roadway.
The Paine Airport said on Twitter about 3:40 p.m. that the aircraft departed from one of their runways.
The Snohomish County Public Utility District says crash-related power outages were restored Tuesday afternoon.
KOMO-TV reports the plane is a single-engine Piper PA32.
