Employees are allowed to return to the Highway and License Building on the Capitol Campus in Olympia on Thursday after a bomb threat prompted its evacuation on Wednesday.

The Washington State Patrol said it went through every room on every floor on Wednesday. No suspicious devices were found.

State Patrol had not yet determined who called in the threat to the building.

Capitol Way was closed in both directions for several hours on Wednesday.
