Description
Snohomish County Elections said it received mail on Thursday matching the description of suspicious mail that forced the evacuation of other election offices across Washington state.
According to Snohomish County Elections, officials did not open the mail and turned it over to federal law enforcement to investigate.
Operations have not been disrupted at the office, as they are continuing to process and count ballots from the Nov. 7 general election. The results certification date remains Nov. 28.
This comes one day after employees evacuated at King, Pierce, Skagit and Spokane county elections offices after unknown powdery substances were found.
