People in Interbay or Magnolia may be hearing some loud booms. There will be controlled detonations of World War II munitions near the cruise terminal at Smith Cove over the next couple days.
KING 5 reports Port of Seattle authorities set up a perimeter around Pier 90 and Pier 91 Monday evening.
The World War II ammunition was found under the cruise ship terminal in 2010.
KING 5 reports some of the materials were found to be highly explosive. The project to remove it was conducted by multiple agencies at an estimated cost of $11 million.
The explosives will be destroyed before cruise season begins in May.
