Elections employees at four Washington state county elections offices evacuated Wednesday after unknown powdery substances were found.
Employees evacuated at King, Pierce, Skagit and Spokane county elections offices.
The Tacoma Police Department (TPD) said it received a call around 8:45 a.m. Wednesday about an employee at the office who was handling an envelope when a white powder fell out of it.
The employee was wearing gloves at the time, according to TPD.
A message inside the envelope that contained the white powder said, "End the election now," according to TPD. Nothing else was written inside the envelope.
