TV network’s gimmick no big deal in Seattle
The Seattle Times: Nation & World: TV network’s gimmick sparks Boston arrests; in Seattle, it’s no big deal
In the Seattle area, the first device was found Tuesday by a Woodinville Public Works Department crew working on a railroad trestle over Highway 202, said Woodinville Police Chief John McSwain.
“Public Works found it and took it down and didn’t even bother to call us” because the device didn’t appear to be threatening, he said.
The appearance of the devices indicated they weren’t too sinister, with one officer describing them as a battery, a light and a cartoon character making an obscene gesture, McSwain said.
Three devices also were found in Bothell, police reported. Officers acting on information from the Seattle Police Department removed the devices and knew the devices were not a threat.
