Bomb Threat Closes Edmonds-Kingston Ferry Route

EDMONDS, Wash. —

The Washington state ferry system says the Edmonds-Kingston route has returned to normal.

One ferry, the Spokane, was out of service for more than five hours Monday while the State Patrol and other agencies responded to a bomb threat note left in a men's restroom.

Service at the Edmonds terminal was shut down at about 9 a.m. by the bomb scare.

The ferry was evacuated and searched by state troopers with a robot and bomb-sniffing dogs.
