Bomb technicians evaluated a suspicious device near a medical building in Edmonds.
Edmonds Police first tweeted about the device in the 21600 block of Highway 99 at 8:37 a.m. Monday.
Nearby buildings were evacuated and a bomb squad was called to investigate.
Bomb techs determined the device was a small motor that had been placed in a box next to medical gas tanks.
“It’s impossible to read into the mind of the person who left it, but it appears that it’s potentially a motor that was dumped there. Maybe someone couldn’t carry it anymore, maybe they planned to come back and get it later — it does not appear it was left to cause this disruption,” said Edmonds Police Commander Josh McClure.
