What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
On Tuesday may 30th 9:35AM privacy data omitted departed from S50 (auburn municipal airport) heading to kbfi (Boeing field). While completing landing checklist, pilot noticed that the gear did not fully extend and was stuck in transit. Pilot attempted to cycle gear handle numerous times with no movement from gear. Suspecting a problem in the hydraulic system pilot attempted to extend my hydraulic flaps and they also did not extend. Pilot ran emergency checklist to use the emergency back-up hand pump which did not work. Pilot then flew towards ktiw (Tacoma Narrows) where emergency gear up landing was executed. Aircraft slid down centerline of runway before sliding to the left and came to a stop in the grass just to the left of runway midfield. Maintenance discovered a cracked rotary gear actuator that caused the gear to not extend, in turn causing the accident
